I was born in Los Angeles, California. I first picked up the guitar at the age of 12 living in Chicago, Illinois. I immediately developed a passion for playing & singing that has remained in my life ever since. Growing up, I was the longhaired rocker dude playing too loud in garage bands for all the neighborhood kids. When I was 17, I relocated back to Southern California where I played for many years in several bands. I now reside in the Phoenix area where I am performing full time as an acoustic solo act.
On the average it takes me about one and a half hours to set up and do a sound check. For weddings and big event's, it's about two and a half hours. I use three 12" 2-way speakers for the mains and monitor powered by a 1000 watt power mixer. Two 15" 3-way speakers for bigger events with a 18" 700 watt powered sub-woofer. Accompanied with a drum machine, harmonizer, looper and various effects. For small events, I can scale back to a compact size to accommodate. Please visit my "Pictures" to view equipment.
