 It was my Mom who first got me into the guitar. When I was about 14 she taught me my first tune, Maliguania. It was my favorite song that she playedI would try to get her to play it for me constantly. She finally got fed up and taught it to me. It took me the better part of a year to learn the full song. I still find it difficult to this day.

After that I was hooked I couldn't stop playing, quite literally like being addicted to drugs. I realized that I got a lot of fulfillment out of writing my own riffs as opposed to learning other people's tunes. After a while I started getting pretty creative I found I was coming up with something new every time I sat down to practice.

I joined my school band in Jr. High, playing flute. Mainly to meet girls and a little because of Jethro Tull. I actually got pretty good at it. In High School I switched to alto sax. I joined the jazz band as well playing guitar, this was awesome! I played mainly rhythm but I got a few leads though. I screwed up alot but hey that's what jazz is all about. While doing all of this I was always trying to get a rock band going with my friends. I managed to get one going I had a drummer and a bassist we did 1 gig (lunch time in the cafeteria) It was a lot of fun we had kind of a chily peppers sound going.

When I was 17 I got my first listen to Metallica's Master of Puppets cd. I heard the whole thing on the way out on a snowboarding trip. I realized that it was the best album I had ever heard. I wasn't in to metal much before that...I had never had a good listen. I became...a metalhead. I found that it was a blast to play on a guitar. The sounds that started coming out of my guitar seemed to be purely evil. Even though I'm actually a pretty nice guy. While I will always love my old idols Hendrix, Zappa, Vaugn, Zepplin, Tull ECT. I've fallen to the dark side of guitar, bands like Metallica In Flames, Tool, Sepultura, Nine Inch Nails ECT. Influence me now. sorry mom.

Now I'm out on my own. I help my parents run a roofing company, and record songs in my spare time. I have a beautiful girlfriend named Leslie and a cat named key key (CKY)
