Bio:
I was born into a very musical family. From gospel to rock, there always seemed to be music playing on a radio at my house. One of my favorite things to do, was to record myself singing popular (and made up) songs on my little cassette recorder. Over the years, I’ve had various jobs, but one thing is always constant – to pass the time while driving, or operating a machine – I’m always singing. At one point in my life, I was very involved in choir, and a number of quartets in my church. I’ve been in two bands now, the infamous and much scorned group – Vehemence, in the 80’s, whose very existence damned all of its members to hell – at least that’s what the Holmes County, Ohio residents thought at the time. The other band is Blackout, of course, my second family. These guys are truly like brothers to me and I enjoy every minute were playing music together. I’ve been married to my lovely wife, Denise, for eight years and we have three wonderful children – Jessica, Tyler, and Sierra.
Motto: Live each day like its your last.

Bio: At the age of 10 I started playing guitar. My father taught me a few chords & I taught myself the rest. Along the way I picked up knowledge of the drums, bass guitar, piano & even the power kazoo. The guitar has been my constant source of sanity during the most insane of times & the cause of some really insane fun times. I love entertaining people through the power of music. If I can touch someone's emotions by playing my guitar for them, then that’s as good as sex. That’s the reason I’ve been playing music for 30 years. Damn! I’m getting old.
Motto: If it’s not broke, don’t fix it. If it is, fix it right the first time.
