Guitarist for “Paindivision” and “Empires of Eden”.

It's a busy life and I'd have it no other way...

After 500+ shows in my career and various international releases, I am a regular columnist for Guitarist Australia Magazine and national clinician for ESP, Randall and Digitech for Australasia.

The last few years have found me conducting countless clinics for ESP and spreading the word of keeping it melodic!

From 2001 until 2005 I played in power metal band "Dungeon", completed extensive national touring, 3 tours of Japan, two world wide tours covering most of Europe, Canada and the states. While in Dungeon I had the great pleasure of touring with bands such as Nightwish, Destruction, Edguy, Angra, Mayhem and the Australian / European leg of the 2005 “Blackmail the Universe” tour with metal giants Megadeth.

After departing Dungeon in 05 I created “Paindivision” and have been fortunate to have supported Black Label Society, Sebastian Bach, Helloween and more recently Armored Saint and Death Angel on their recent Australian Tour.

Paindivision released the debut cd in 2007 and the follow-up “One Path” in October 2008 which reached great critical acclaim in receiving 9/10 from metalobsession.net and 8.2/10 from Pyromusic.net.

During this time I have been recording my solo cd “Altered states” and also, now I am currently releasing the second cd for my band “Empires of Eden”, a melodic metal epic including some feature performances with some of Metal most engaging vocalists and performers..

Thankfully, reviews have been very kind with Bruce Dickinson levelling praise on the debut album after a feature on his radio rock show in December 09

Recent session work has me featured on the upcoming heavy rock cd by recording artist “Tiffany Gow”. And the list is continuing

My musical influences span a very wide range with my Ipod containing both Slayers "Reign in Blood" and the equally briliant "Rumors" by Fleetwood mac. If it's got great songs it's in the play list.

I offer session work at very competitive rates and due to owning my own studio “Frontiers Studio”, I can offer fast turn around times, some as low as three hours...
