SEEKING

ABOUT

I am an 80's-90's Metal-Head at heart so I like metaphoric, melodic driving songs that tell stories (I like the dark ones the best). I have played a ton of different styles over the years which help me fit in just about anywhere.

I have played in many cover and original bands over the years and I have found I like playing a mix of Covers and Original Rock/Metal tunes the best!

I am not afraid to attempt songs with complex bass lines or epic tunes with complex structures. It makes performing much more fun and interesting... for me anyway.

I currently play bass for an Ozzy era Black Sabbath tribute band called Bleak Sabbath, and for the band Bad Behavior.
