I got my first drum-set at the age of two for my second birthday and by the age of ten I started playing live on stage with my dad. We played all over the state of Oregon. By the time I was twelve I moved over to the guitar and never really looked back. One day at the age of 18 I decided to become a songwriter.

Throughout my 20's I wrote music and played in various bands around Portland and California that always maintained an underground approach. For the past several years I have been recording at home and submitting music into production companies and college radio stations. My 2004 album, "To Make the Wheel Rounder," had all but one track played either played on the radio or used in an extreme video. I have been contacted from as far away as New Zealand to get a copy of this album.

Currently, I play out once a week and am in the process of building a high-tech recording studio in my home for acoustic instruments. I am working out the final details of putting together a unique acoustical set while playing through with two different guitar amps. Both of these amps I have built to create a deep sound when played together.

For the last 17 years I have used a real simple hard working formula to come up with new song ideas. They don't come easy, but the challenge of putting together these puzzles is worth it when a new one comes to life!
