ABOUT
I'm a versatile guitarist that's branched out into many other stringed and fretted instruments. I'm interested in writing, collaborations, recording, and occasionally gigging out. I do travel a fair amount so my time is probably best for fill ins or longer-term collaborations.
Since 2019 I've mainly been playing with an Irish punk cover band Release The Craicen. I've also played in a couple pit orchestras for community theater productions.
