My personal story

When I was a kid, I would watch my dad play music,(guitar & sing) and be amazed at the way he could move his fingers and sound like an angel. I knew that I had to do this.

Being a "punk kid", I had to do it louder!! I chose to play the drums. I played in the school band, in several garage bands, and in private,(thanks for the den Mom!!). After joining the Army and growing up a little bit, I took up the guitar and ended up falling in love with the instrument.

600 bands, 400 guitars, 2 beautiful kids, and Brenda (My soulmate and wife) later, here I am still playin'

My home studio consists of the following equiptment:
