MY STORY

  I started playing guitar at 12 years old learning to play my favorite Aerosmith and Kiss songs.  I took lessons when I was 14 for about a year, and was fortunate enough to join my first band, Intruder.  I started off playing backyard parties first, playing covers, eventually writings my own songs at the age of 15.  I hit the studio at 16 years old and was hooked for life.  By this time I had learned that playing lead guitar was all about phrasing, melody, and harmony.  It still holds true for me today.

  I continued writing songs through the years, from instrumental stuff to just good old rock and roll.  In 1990, I went on a 15 year hiatus, still recording and writing but not playing in a band.  

  In 2005, I formed Blue Hail and released our self titled album.  Many gigs later, life called again, I took a break from music for a time.  The urge for me to get out and play live hit me like a ton of bricks.  I played around Sacramento with Radio Heavy, and On the Fly.  I landed a deal with Gatewood Guitars and crossed over to country music.  I played with Midnight Railway, and also Tim Thurman of Nashville.  Eventually I came back to my calling, heavy rock and melodic metal.  I now play in the band Four Ten.  

  We just released our first single "The Truth". Our next single "Desert Sun" is to be released in late August.  Its been a wild ride, and this train ain't stopping anytime soon.
