I started playing guitar in St. Louis, where I grew up. Moved to San Francisco in 1995 and played in punk rock bands for 5 years. Groups I played in included 440 Six-Pack and Retardo Montalbaln. In 2000 I moved to Los Angeles, where I currently reside, to play in rock band, the B-Movie Rats, whose 3rd album Radio Suicide is out on Rankoutsider Records, which I played on. During my time in the Rats we toured the U.S. 2 or 3 times and Europe once.
My focus for the past six or seven years has mostly been jazz music, but I've also studied classical guitar and continue to play rock, funk, and blues.
Since 2004 I have played w/ jazz and blues group, the Downbeats, which includes Vince Meghrouni on saxophone and Mike Sessa on drums. We have the pleasure of playing with a wide variety of great musicians, which varies from gig to gig. Come down to the Downbeat Café in Echo Park. We’ve played there every Wednesday for the last 5 years from 7:30-9:30.
I also play in another group called the Atomic Sherpas. We play a mix of jazz, blues, latin and funk. It’s a fun group which usually includes: Vince Meghrouni, Mike Sessa, Carey fosse (guitar), Michael Alvidrez (bass), and Carlos Alvidrez (trombone). If you haven’t seen this group, you should. Pick up our CD 'Blowin' it at Ya.' We've also been hard at work on a new studio album with mostly original material. Stay tuned as it should be available soon.
Currently I’m working on earning a Master's degree in Studio/Jazz Guitar at USC.
Looking for a versatile guitarist for recording or gigs? Contact me.
If you’re looking for a guitar teacher I do that too.

NOTA: debido a las limitaciones del “myspace” hemos tenido que fusionar los 10 cortes del disco en seis pistas, quedando indicado en la propia página de G&G como han quedado unidas las canciones (ej: en la primera canción queda nombrada como “TRACKS 1 Y 2 VER lyrics”, quiere decir que el corte 1 y 2 del disco van seguidas en esa pista y que los títulos los ves pulsando en el cuadro “lyrics” de esa canción)
Hope you had a brovember to remember.
