At the age of 6 I began to play the piano. After a couple of years I learned to read and write music a musician was born. By 14 I was given my first guitar,I was hooked on music. By age 16 I met up with Myles Goodwyn and Brian Greenway from April Wine , little did I know I was becoming a professional musician . I was fortunate to meet up with Michael Shencker from UFO later that year, he helped me to develop the drive of a metal guitarist playing in Europe was a mind blower for a 17 year old from the U.S. After coming back to the U.S. I met up with people like Joe Stump, Terry Bozzio and Steve Vai my playing style had changed completely and my discipline was more focused, we still remain friends.
Unique traits: When I take an interest in something I go as far as I possibly can. Musically as good as people say I am I'm constantly looking for ways to improve my technique and understanding of musical notes and how I can bend them to my will. I also have a great love for nature and became an honorary member of National geographic.
