MY CAREER IN MUSIC STARTED EARLY ON AT THE AGE OF 5.  MY FATHER, A SEASONED MUSICIAN IN HIS OWN RIGHT, STARTED TEACHING ME TO PLAY GUITAR.  FROM THAT POINT ON, MUSIC HAS BEEN IN MY BLOOD AND THERE HAS BEEN NO TURNING BACK.  

​

OVER THE YEARS I HAVE BEEN INVOLVED IN MANY PROJECTS.  BANDS COVERING A BROAD RANGE OF STYLES, PLUS DOING MANY SOLO ACOUSTIC SHOWS.  I HAVE HAD THE OPPORTUNITY TO OPEN FOR MANY NATIONAL RECORDING ARTISTS, SUCH AS SALIVA, CANDLEBOX, BLACK STONE CHERRY, JACKYL, DAYS OF THE NEW, HOOBASTANK, HED PE, REHAB, ADLERS APPETITE, MUSHROOMHEAD, PARABELLE, SONS OF TEXAS AND TED NUGENT.  I'VE ALSO HAD THE CHANCE TO BE FEATURED ON VARIOUS RADIO STATIONS, INCLUDING 104.7FM WIOT(TOLEDO), 99.7FM THE BLITZ(COLUMBUS), 102.3FM THE FOX(MANSFIELD), 106.1FM WVNO(MANSFIELD), AS WELL AS HAVING MY BAND FEATURED ON SIRIUS SATELLITE RADIO(BUBBA THE LOVE SPONGE SHOW).

​

AVERAGING APPROXIMATELY 100-150 SHOWS PER YEAR, I STAY BUSY IN THE LOCAL MUSIC SCENE.  PRIMARILY DOING SOLO ACOUSTIC SHOWS, I HAVE ONE OF THE WIDEST VARIETIES OF SONG SELECTIONS AROUND.  FROM CLASSIC/MODERN ROCK, CLASSIC/MODERN COUNTRY, 90'S ALTERNATIVE, POP, BLUES, EASY LISTENING, OLDIES...I COVER A LITTLE SOMETHING FOR EVERYBODY AND WHOLEHEARTEDLY WELCOME REQUESTS.  HUNDREDS OF SONGS IN MY REPETOIRE. 

​

I ALSO HAVE A MODERN ROCK COVER BAND CALLED HARD PASS THAT FOCUSES ON HARD ROCK HITS FROM THE 80'S, 90'S AND 2000'S.  IN ADDITION TO THAT I AM IN A SEETHER TRIBUTE BAND CALLED GASOLINE.  AND WHEN TIME ALLOWS I WORK ON ORIGINAL MATERIAL WITH MY BAND 9FIRE, AS WELL AS WORKING ON SOME SOLO ORIGINAL MATERIAL.
