I've been a guitarist for over 20 years now. Started out playing covers in frats and block parties in Jersey. I came to Pittsburgh to go to grad school, afterwhich I just wanted to play music.

Since then I've played in a few bands in Pittsburgh. Having gotten tired of hipsters, 'one-uppers' and "the scene" in general, I decided to go solo and I recorded a full CD myself. I wrote, engineered, produced, and played nearly everything on it myself. I am pretty darn proud of how it turned out despite some minor issues hither and thither.

Now that that's out of the way, I want to get together with some musicians who are professionally minded, open minded, mind-ful, and everything else that has to do with the mind. Seriously, though, I'd love to find some people who are good at what they do and want to collaborate on a project w/o the usual "genre boundaries" that I feel hold good music back.

The best way to contact me is through my email until I can upgrade my account.
