I've been playing guitar for nearly 20 years now. I've released 5 albums and appeared on several compilation albums. I've been featured in Guitar for the Practicing Musician's Spotlight column and Guitar One Magazine's Fretbuzz column. I've written guest columns for Guitar 9 Records, Insane Guitar, and Sounduser.com, and album reviews for Prog4You.com.
I'm currently endorsed by Dean Guitars, Dean Markley Strings, SONiOX MI Sound Libraries, Morley Guitar Pedals, and ADK Pro Audio.
I've found that the easiest way to explain me, musicwise, is to list my influences. So here we go!
