BiographyHmmmm.... About me.... Well, I grew up in Wheaton, MD which is about 15 minutes north of Washington D.C. I have been playing guitar and singing for over a quarter of a century, with little formal training which included a semester in Junior High School and later some formal instruction under a graduate of GIT around 1990 or so. People ask me all the time whether I am a "lead" or "rhythm" player and I like to answer that I am both, as both are equally important. In my current band "Archer", I am the sole guitarist which allows me a lot of freedom, but also carries a lot of responsibility! I've played in bands and have sat in with many of the area's finest musicians including personalities from such acts as Band Of 1000 Names, Hectic Red, The Reagan Years, Rex Hunter, Iroc and Surreal. However, most of my time has been spent playing in the Mid-Atlantic regional act Archer, where I have gained most of my touring experience playing clubs from Northern PA down to North Carolina. During the mid-90's, I performed at countless venues (see below), and shared the stage with numerous established national acts including Kansas, .38 Special, Firehouse, Tyketto, Survivor, White Trash, Dr. Hook, and Foghat. I've also had the pleasure of attending and performing at the SXSW Music and Media Conference in Austin, TX, Philidelphia Music Conference, as well as the Cutting Edge Music Conference in New Orleans, LA. I have met many folks in my travels, some famous and some not so famous. This extensive amount of experience has taught me quite a lot, and helped me earn an endorsement with DR Strings, as well as recognition under the "Best Guitarist in the Mid-Atlantic" category in the Music Monthly Magazine Annual Readers Poll on several occasions.
