I live in Utah, U.S.A. I have been playing and composing for over 20 years now. I have a "real" job, but my passion has always been guitar and music. My style is a mix of Rock, Blues, Classical and some Jazz. All of my songs start with the guitar and work outward from there. I can play anything but Country. I haven't had a lot of experience composing or playing Country music. A quick listen either here or on my Acid Planet page will outline my style and sound. I am always willing to send a short demo for a new project... 

     I play several instruments. I am available for small media projects. I compose, play, record and master all of my own music. I can render any of my songs in whatever format your project needs, or I can compose something with your specific needs in mind. Take a listen, if you hear a song that interests you please contact me. I would love to get whatever exposure I can. Thank you for stopping by.

Band/artist history

I have a lot of experience composing for small media projects. Some comericals, video footage, jingles, etc... I have also worked as a session guitarist from time to time. I can turn a jingle out in a day if needed and can accomplish larger projects very quickly. My music is always recorded and produced with the highest standards possible. I can provide the finished project in any format. I create my music using Sony's Acid and Sound Forge. I use Vegas if the project has video. I have Pro Tools and Sonar also, but I like the Sony products the best. I can usually work around any format or original source issues. All of my finished work will comply with play-book standards. Again, I am very flexible about payment. Just shoot me an e-mail... ( I would really like to compose and produce a low budget movie score )

Your musical influences

All of the Modern and Vintage guitar heros... but mostly Satriani, Vai and ( a gaggle of 80's guitarists ) lol... My sound has been shaped by cats like Steve Stevens, Van Halen, George Lynch, etc... I am somewhat of a gear freak...

What equipment do you use?

I use and have used a lot of gear over the years, but my main stay seems to be my Line 6 XT Pro. I have a lot of old pedals and still use em. ( dunlop, tube screamer, etc... ) My guitars are custom, but I use Carvin electronics. ( everything from pots to pickups ) I still prefer tubes, but cost keeps me digital.  I cheat a bit by using a tube preamp between my Pod and PC. I helps saturate the tone and warm it up, but I only need to do that on the clean tones usually.
