ABOUT

Last updated 04/13/24

Thank you for visiting my profile. With over three decades of experience as a musician since 1988, I have a diverse background in performing with bands, bringing a wealth of expertise to any project. Currently, I'm focusing on refining my acoustic set while actively seeking opportunities to collaborate and connect with fellow musicians. Whether it's talking music, offering assistance, or meeting up for a jam session, I'm eager to engage. My passion lies in crafting engaging songs, leveraging my songwriting skills, and delivering dynamic performances that evoke emotion and energize audiences. I'm enthusiastic about joining a band and contributing my talents, drawing on years of musical proficiency and a strong commitment to creating memorable musical experiences together..

My biggest concern is meeting to jam is my day job can interfere with a band life. I do life-saving medical work that requires me to travel and work long hours. I currently have Mondays off and my goal is to contribute one day practice and one day performing per week. It would also be nice just to meet other musicians, talk music, share stories, collaborate, etc. let’s write a song or help figure out how to work through a composition. I’m down for anything, really!

I’m not on this site regularly. I check it usually once a week.
