Band to Join, Vocalist, Rhythm Guitar, Lead Guitar, Acoustic Guitar, Bass Guitar, Drums, Background Singer.ABOUT
Over the past 25 years I have played and toured with a few original bands, most notably "Handsome DeVille" which had minor success in small market radio with a cover of "I Think We're Alone Now" in 2008/2009. More recently I fronted the variety band "Tugboat Rampage" for 4 years until early 2020 when I relocated to Rapid City. I also have a small studio which I use to mix/produce music for myself and others. Currently I am looking to get back to playing music and performing live as much as possible. There's simply nothing like it!

Influences
I find myself drawn to a lot of power trios. When I first started playing bass as a teenager I was very much into Green Day, Cream, and ZZ Top. Later on I discovered Motorhead which became one of my favorite bands ever! I'm also a huge fan of Reel Big Fish and Bowling For Soup due to their inclusion of humor in their song writing. In general I am all over the map. One minute I could be listening/singing along to "King of Wishful Thinking" by Go West and the next I'm thrashing along to Megadeth or Rammstein. I feel that there is something to be learned and appreciated from most genres of music.

"The tools of conquest do not necessarily come with bombs and explosions and fallout. There are weapons that are simply thoughts, attitudes, prejudices...to be found only in the minds of men. For the record, prejudices can kill...and suspicion can destroy...and a thoughtless, frightened search for a scapegoat has a fallout all of its own – for the children and the children yet unborn. And the pity of it is that these things cannot be confined to the Twilight Zone." - Rod Serling
