 I've been playing and teaching Bass Guitar for many years, I have recorded and toured with many groups from a very young age. Many of my students go on to do great things with the skills they have learned from me. I graduated from BIT and RAP at Musicians Institute with Associates degree and Professional Certificate.

I'm looking for good musician's to play with. Goals, and Musical ideas are more important than "what are you going name the band" I like to play Jazz standards: Afro Bule, Angel Eyes, all the things you are, autumn leaves, anthropology, agua de beber, you get the idea. I also love to tour with good rock bands. I'm down with grindcore, and hippy jam bands, R&B, D&B... I mean I'll play it all, no boundaries.
