I’ve been writing and performing music since the beginning of high school. It all began when I discovered my father’s classical guitar hiding in the closet. 10 years later I’ve been in numerous bands (one of which had the privilege of opening for Underoath), and spent a year and half as a Pastor of Worship and Music. Along the way I was also able to become quite confident at the drum kit.
My modest collection of gear includes:
- A Fender American Standard Strat (left-handed)
- A Yamah D-Series Acoustic with pickup (also left-handed)
- and a “not quite as beautiful as my wife - but pretty close” Slingerland drum kit
In the fall of 2003 my good buddy Michael Armstrong Flack helped me record my first solo instrumental album, “What Are You Thinking Right Now?” The album was recording using panned AKG C3000 and Audix f15 Condenser mic’s through a Motu 828 Firewire Converter mixed using Cubase.
You can download some tracks at my purevolume account, or if you’d like I can .zip you all of the mp3’s
I’m responsible for all of the design, layout, and packaging; and my wife helped supply several photographs.

I could list some of my musical influences, but that’s what last.fm is for.
