Hey! You've just stumbled onto the greatest rock guitarist you never heard of! Instrumental Guitarist from Boston, MA. Influences include Joe Satriani, George Lynch, Steve Vai, John Petrucci, Eric Johnson.

Hang out, check some tunes, drop me a line! Click the Lyrics for each song for a little background to them, if you're so inclined. Or do nothing, and like it.

About me: Born and raised in Pittsburgh PA, now in MA. Began playing guitar at 13, wrote my first song at 16, when I joined my first (progressive rock) band. Began playing the local bar/club scene while learning to drive...and learning to play in odd time signatures. A few band name changes and line up changes later, playing bigger and better Original Band scenes, breaking up, and moving across the country...I'm starting to sound like a "Behind the Music" special!

I'm trained mainly in straight up rock, and mostly self taught, but I love and appreciate all genres and types of music. Now I write and record at home, and occasionally fly back to the 'Burgh as a hired gun for my (now professional) ex-drummer, turned established percussionist and college faculty member.

SHOUT OUT! At one time, I had a night show on a major market radio station--for those folks who might be from the Morgantown, WV area, you may know be better as Cain, perhaps the best night jock that ever grabbed a mic at WVAQ ;-) Big Up Mountaineers!!
