ABOUT

Grew up on regular doses of hard rock and metal. I avoid country like the plague mainly due to growing up in a small farm town and having it crammed down my throat.
Lately I’ve calmed down a lot. I’m in my mid 40’s and a stay at home dad with two small ones running around. And a 21 year old running amuck.
So I like to noodle and write and record at home. With the pandemic and live music hanging out in the nether, seems this is the new norm these days anyhow. So I was ahead of the curve.
Essentially looking for another musician/guitarist to write music with and collaborate with in efforts to grow creatively and learn to navigate songwriting. And maybe someday when things let up perform!
