I'm a guitarist/engineer/producer living in Nashville, TN. My day job is as the Nashville Artist Realtions guy for D'Addario and Company.
Born in Mauston, WI, the youngest of five. Started playing my brother's electric Teisco Del Ray at age 13, got a little better and kept getting better instruments. Started a high school band with friends and played the usual school functions. Continued playing through college, in a hard rock band called "Thrust" in LaCrosse, WI.
Moved to Nashville in 1996 to work for Gibson Guitars. Began playing local dates and went on the road as lead guitarist for "The Lynns". Began a side gig as a guitar tech and have made a career out of it, engineering and producing demos and albums on the side.
Yes, in Nashville with my wife, Donna Beasley.
