My main instrument is guitar (lead guitar mostly). I am a serious professional musician. I make the majority of my income gigging and teaching and that will be the same story when I finally finish college. The only projects that I am seeking are ones that are at least somewhat fun and paying. Please don't contact me if you want me to join your newly formed group if there is no pay involved--if I'm going to be a professional musician I need to be paid for what I do.

I am hired regularly at various random gigs and also to play at churches that want a professional-grade sound from their musicians. I can sightread charts, write my own charts or learn by ear, depending on what is needed. I can learn play original or cover tunes as long as I have at least a track to hear. I am willing to travel or even tour for a period of time, depending on pay.

I am quickly becoming more and more of a studio musician as time goes on. I have posted tracks that I have played on so you can hear the sound I specialize in.
