I have been playing guitar for approx. 13 years in that time have played in a number of bands including Naked Hatred and BAGE. I have had some guitar classes and in turn have learned many styles of music. 
I first started playing at the age of 11 when I picked up my stepfather's acoustic guitar and he taught me a couple of chords, but that wasn't the sound I was looking for. I wanted something heavier and more distorted so I got a job and soon after purchased my first electric guitar, an Ibanez Roadster II series and a small practice amp. FRom there I started the search for my perfect sound. I've been through many different guitars and amps and am now comming closer to the sound I have been looking for. 
My dream is to make music that people want to listen to and appreciate, and up until this point I have not diverted from that thought and I believe in Pittcore I have found 4 other friends that have the same outlook and dream that I do. 
My gear consists of an Ampeg VL-502, Randall 412 with Jaguar speakers and an Ibanez AX-7221. Some of my influences are Slipknot, Pantera, Slayer, Sepultura, and Soulfly.
