I began playing guitar in 1988 when I could no longer resist the feeling I had listening to some of my favorite players. Guys like Angus Young, Jimi Hendrix, Jimmy Page, Tony Iommi and David Gilmour really had my attention. Once I finally learned how to tune it (I didn't know electronic tuners were available) I couldn't put it down.

In 1993 I formed Madame Session to perform and record original compositions and then Solstice in 1996. Shortly after that I joined the John Mullins Band to focus on my lead guitar skills and to play outside of Columbus for a change. He was playing all over Ohio as well as Chicago and New York and he had some great players backing him up. We did a live recording and one studio track which was released on his CD "Famous Last Words..." After nearly two years with the Mullins Band I became more interested in jazz and blues so I joined up with some friends in a project called Moodswing in 2000. We played everything from Thelonius Monk to Jimi Hendrix as well as songs we had written. There are some recordings of Moodswing but nothing was ever officially released. During this time I did five recordings for Kendall Wayne who is a fantastic country/southern rock songwriter from Southern Ohio. I also recorded an album with Jason Clayton in 2002, another great songwriter from Columbus. In 2003 I began feeling the urge to record some of my own music so I bought some mics and a Pro Tools rig. Since then I have been recording tracks for my songs as well as tracks for other artists in the Columbus area and across the U.S. via the internet.
