Tell me about your history? How did you get where you are now?
My first band was Eleven 69. A friend of mine who was putting together a band came to me one day, handed me a guitar, and started teaching me a song he wrote. Shortly after that, I was bringing him songs I had written. Next thing I know I'm in the band. We played in Yakima, WA for 4 years, recorded 2 albums, and had a lot of fun.
Have you performed live in front of an audience? Any special memories?
I love playing with a band, there is no other rush like it. When you put your heart and soul in to a project and show it to someone, it's the greatest feeling in the world for them to come back and tell you that it really meant something to them.
Your musical influences
My musical influences include everything from Tool to Sarah McLaughlan. Michelle Branch, Anna Nalick, Indigo Girls, Incubus, Matchbox 20, to name a few.
What equipment do you use?
