I am a solo acoustic musician, and I love what I do. It defines me. I live for god, for our country, for our service men and women, and my friends and family.

​

My music is a form of art. Art is a form of truth. It is so because it is made by the artist. A living human being who is truth themselves. It’s not made by a robot without feeling or emotion. As such, this feeling and emotion must and does come out in their form of art.

​

My music is true and real. It represents me as a person, and in some form, represents my life at the moment. Thru my music, I am able to express to the audience my state of mind, my state of living, and my dreams and desires. This is one of the main reasons I strive to interact with the audience during my performances. It’s during these times that connections take place, and there is nothing more satisfying for an artist than developing a connection with a listener.

​

I want to play music that makes people experience a range of emotions, and the truth I am expressing. I like songs that have meaning, and that connect with me on a personal level. Sometimes the connection is the lyrics, sometimes it's the chord structure. Sometimes it's the rhythm or tempo. Always though, the song is moving in me, and I want it to move in the audience also. I enjoy interacting with those around me, and when I am on stage, that still holds true. I'm a people person, and a humble musician, so I am most in my element bantering back and forth with the crowd.

​

I tend to choose songs that resonate with me, and that I believe will resonate with my audience. It could be Motley Crue, John Denver, Frank Sinatra, or James Taylor. Or anywhere in between. The song needs to have an element that I believe will be a common language for both myself and my listeners. I am constantly striving for the perfect acoustic tone, and the ability to change it from song to song. 

​

Currently, I am a solo acoustic musician that is playing live gigs as time allows between my duties as a full-time single father to my amazing 6 year old son, and a full-time student at Berklee College of Music. I am in the very beginning phases of exploring songwriting, and would ultimately like to write and play my own original music. When time allows I am usually home working out new backing rhythms on my looper, experimenting with vocal techniques, or working out new songs on my looper.
