ABOUT

Guitarist for Race The Rat. In addition to our own tunes, we have covered songs by artists like Michael Monroe, Black Stone Cherry, Dead Daisies, Faster Pussycat, Black Sunshine, Broken Teeth, Alice Cooper, Rhinobucket, Sea Hags, Motorhead, Junkyard, Airbourne, and Silvertide to name just a few --- loud, gritty rock & roll that your mother will almost certainly disapprove of!

Influences

Whether you've been playing 6 months or 60 years, whether some armchair critic thinks you're great or thinks you suck, whether you've toured the world or have only toured your basement, whether you've sold 10 million records or none at all --- if you strap on your guitar and play the sonofabitch like you MEAN it, then you're an influence of mine. Some of the (rock-oriented) pros whom I have admired include Pat Travers, Bernie Torme, Robin Trower, Tony Iommi, Gary Moore, Leslie West, Ted Nugent, Bill Nelson, and Ronnie Montrose. Don't get me wrong, I can't play exactly like any of them.....I can only play like ME. lol
