I first picked up the guitar at the age of 16 and have never turned back.  It was apparent that God had given me a gift and talent for music and the guitar in particular and in recording these songs I hope to glorify Him.  I was given a healthy respect for music by my parents, my father being formerly a professional bass player and my mother an extremely talented vocalist.  My father introduced me to a wide range of musical styles, ranging from rock to jazz to classical, always impressing upon me the importance of emotional expression.  I made these songs in the hope of sharing an emotional experience. 

     Some of my influences include:

     Jesus Christ my Lord and Savior, Santana, Leslie West, Mike Oldfield, Eric Gale, Duane Allman, Jonny Lang, Roy Buchanan, Derek Trucks, Warren Haynes, Peter Green, David Gilmour, Elvin Bishop, Barry Bailey, Alvin Lee, Eric Clapton, Andreas Segovia, Eric Burden, BB King, Freddie King, Buddy Guy, Bill Withers, Stevie Wonder, Greg Lake, Richie Blackmore, Robby Krieger, Joe Walsh, Lindsay Buckingham, and all the gifted musicians I have been blessed to play with (you know who you are)

     Please play this music loud and close your eyes. 

     This music is for the Lord
