Throughout the course of my career, I have gigged with multiple groups, over a broad range of styles including: R&B, Blues, Classic Rock, and Jazz.

I have had the opportunity to do studio work, as well as performing in a variety of live venues including: clubs, casinos and casuals. I have traveled doing roadwork and cruise ships, both domestically and abroad.

I have also performed with Big Band ensembles that required chord chart and linear note reading abilities.

Additionally, I was a contributing writer for Gig Magazine from 1997 until 2002. Writing feature articles, equipment reviews and diverse articles of interest for working musicians in the bi-monthly guitar column.
