Seasoned player with 37yrs experience as a musician. Born and raised in Southern Colorado. Ive been around music my entire life. Actually started playing music as far back as 4th grade. With half my family being involved with music, it was hard not to fall into it. My dad and uncle were both in popular area bands in the 60s, so their influence was heavy on me in my early years. Older brother was a drummer as well and his influence played a huge part in being a musician. Cant forget my mothers unwavering support while i spent many hours in my room as a teen learning the craft. I was born and bred a metalhead, but have been in bands over the years from just about every genre. Growing up, I listened to everything from Kenny Rodgers and John Denver to Deep Purple, Kiss, Led Zepplin and everything else in between. With primary focus on the rock from the late 60s and early 70s. Ive come to really enjoy listening to and playing the blues and any heavy rock with a groovy bass line.
