Singing, playing guitar, being involved in anything musical has been my ambition and passion for the past 30 years. I began playing guitar at eight years of age, learning songs from the top 40 radio stations. Being with friends, playing music, meeting girls, I have no regrets, and lots of great memories.

During my high school years I began playing contemporary music in church. Every Sunday, I continue to play positive, faith filled music, helping people worship and pray, giving back the special gift God has given me.

I sing lead or harmony vocals with a tenor voice, smooth, rich, with good intonation and a natural vibrato. I am able to sight read staff music, chord charts or create charts from recordings. I have compiled a substantial music library over the years and always have it available to play a special song or request. Playing music that people enjoy really gives me personal satisfaction in what I do. 

For a number of years I studied as vocal music major in college performing operettas and musicals, while also working in nighclubs in the Phoenix/Scottsdale area. Later on I worked as a singing waiter with a musical group called "The Barnstormers" at the Windmill Dinner Theater in Scottsdale, Arizona. During the 80's I was fortunate enough to record a double album of spirit filled Christian music.

I am a proficient guitar player, comfortable on either classical, steel string, electric guitar or bass. Through my 20's and early 30's I supported myself performing for nightclubs and many private/corporate functions, playing guitar/bass, working alone, as a duet, trio, or with a band.

Currently I'm polishing my solo performance, learning new material, building back up tracks and recording at home. I pick up the occasional gig and play music for church services. I also have some great life-long friends in the "The Moonlighters Band". See the link at the top of the page.

I own a sound system, flexible enough for both small and medium venues, guitar and bass rigs. I know how to use and troubleshoot sound reinforcement equipment, from years working in the Audio/Video industry (my day job}

Staying grounded, keeping my priorities in focus, beginning each day with a positive attitude, and thanking God for my blessings are my primary goals. I'm an easy goin' guy, always aiming to please, open to the ever changing entertainment arena, hoping my musical talents will be appreciated, and ready to do what I love to do best... play music.
