about me...

I am from a little town called Des Arc, Missouri a very small town located near Farmington, MO about 120 miles south of St. Louis.  I have been playing guitar since 1984.  I started at a young only 11 years old.  I picked it up very quickly it only took me about 30 days.

I have played all over the Missouri and Illinois areas from about the age of 16.  I spent the early part of my twenty's wanting to be a rock star, but soon realized playing on the road sucked!  I have been lucky enough to open for several national acts my favorite being Foreigner.  Like most musicians I am very critical of my sound.  I always want it to be better.  I have owned about every piece of music gear made.  I have been very fortunate to be able to play with better musicians than me which always pushes me to grow and try to better myself.  I currently play with a few bands Nine2One, Common Addiction from the Centralia, IL area.  I play just about every weekend and have a blast each and every time.  I look forward to talking with you at one of our shows.  If your interested in what kind of gear I play check out my Equipment tab located up above.
