​

I am originally from New York, and I have played in many states across the "southern tier" of the United States since 2013, including California, Arizona, Mississippi, Louisiana, and Florida, as well as Washington State. I have taught guitar privately, and at Guitar Center in Lynnwood, WA.

 

I use a Boss RC300 Loop Station to record backing tracks in real time. Nothing is pre-recorded. I use a drum machine and an acoustic guitar to create a rhythm track, and build from there using an electric bass, and electric guitar. Other times, I play acoustic guitar with a vocal. I play both covers and original pieces, and some instrumentals as well. No two performances are exactly alike!
