ABOUT

I am currently working on a series of projects that I intend to release over the next 12 to 18 months. These are a collection of compositions that I have placed on the back burner while I focus on other areas of life. Now is the time to dive back into my music aspirations!

My goal would be to find like minded musicians that are interested in accompanying me on this journey. I have at least 3 LP's worth of material that I am actively finishing in my free time outside of work. These are all Progressive influenced and range from the lighter side of the genre to heavy.

The content is secular, however, being a christian, I do explore ideas that are inspired by my faith. My hope would be to find other individuals who have that calling as well.

Influentially, my writing style is a mixture of classics like Yes, Kansas, and Tull, with modern takes such as Frost*, Dream Theater, Arjen Lucassen, and Radio Head - to name a few. Eclectic! As much as I enjoy progressive metal - I simply do not have that writing aspiration at this time.

I am a vocalist and guitarist.
