Place of Birth: Columbus, Ohio. I was cursed from birth with an overwhelming attraction to the guitar. At 4 I received my first guitar, but didn't play seriously until about 9. I am self taught, thus proving Socrates theory, picking up any knowledge that I could get my hands on. I was in my share of local bands in my teens and twenties, playing a variety of the popular Heavy Rock and guitar oriented music of the '80s. My early infuences and teachers were: Randy Rhoads, George Lynch, Yngwie J. Malmsteen, Gary Moore, Michael Schenker and Akira Takasaki, with much infuence from the great composers. Jim Morrison and The Doors opened my eyes along with Rimbaud, Baudelaire and Kerouac. I began singing at twenty, singing back-up vocals in the bands I was in eventually taking over lead vocals. I've been a professional "road" musician ,singing and playing, for 10 years. I now have the opportunity, with help from my great freinds Mike Chapman, Charlie Johnson, Justin Daily, Rick Anderson, and Wayne Zank to realize my lifelong dream, actually creating music.

And now with the addition of Goldfinger on "thunder" we have a tour ready rock and roll phenomenon. Goldfinger is from Lexington, Kentucky and has toured with Alice Cooper, The Cult, and Tesla to name a few.
