I play many types of music but I'm trying to stick to a close group of genres/subgenres
for these pages. You can find out about my past endeavors at
Tell me about your history? How did you get where you are now?
I picked up a guitar at the age of 9 and have rarely been without one since, studying a variety of styles throughout the years, including classical and fingerstyle acoustic. When the Rock & Roll bug bit
in the '70's and '80's, I could be found playing in
a number of San Fernando Valley based bands such as Brute Neighbors, Solstice, Big Business, and including a number of high profile Los Angeles area shows with
the pop/rock outfit Jester. Songwriting and composition remain my primary endeavor to this day. "Hunter's Point" has been the recent moniker of any 'band' projects. More recently I
spent 18 months as the lead guitarist for "The Natalie Wattre Band". Currently working
with Marty Zucker (The Falcons; Jester; The Quick) in "The Double Agents". Stay
tuned for upcoming dates around Los Angeles.
