ABOUT

Lost my wife to cancer earlier in the year and am now finally able to get back into doing what I love and playing music.

(Live in Fredericksburg, but I work in Reston Area)
I have been playing for a long time, have toured, recorded, performed in front of decent sized venues, took the last several years off to move, record, etc. .. Now looking at getting back into doing what I love. Love Jamming and performing in Numerous styles (Classic Rock, Blues, Hard Rock, Metal, Acoustic, Fusion, Zen, etc. 60's through present music)

I have many songs including writing lyrics, and co-written some music.

I am very easy going, rarely drink, and do not do drugs.
