My parents bought me a black Les Paul copy and a brand new Peavey Backstage amp for Christmas in 1981 because my dad didn't want me knocking down the walls playing drums.

To this day I thank my pop above for getting me that guitar.

I grew up in the 80's metal scene, mullet and all. Influences include:
Randy Rhoads, Yngwie Malmsteen, Vinnie Moore (my cousin baby!) EVH, SRV, Satch, Paul Gilbert and Baroque god JS Bach. I also enjoy John Williams and Ihtzak Perlman.

I enjoy all genres of music but I still love to shred classical the most. My main inspiration these days are my beautiful wife and my 20 month old son. (A guitarist in training.)
