I've been a Guitar Player since I was 10 years old. My influences are all over the place, When I play rock my influences are Eddie VanHalen, George Lynch, Metallica, and I feel I have a unique sound of my own as well, acoustic music influences vary as well, I like Bluegrass music, Alison Krauss, Lyle Lovett etc etc, I also like bands like Massive Attack, Collide, Kidney Thieves. I like all styles of music as long as some effort was put into the creation of it. My equipment list has been scaled back a bit.

Guitars Electric: Fender Strat, Gibson 57 goldtop, ESP LTD, Jackson 1988 Limited.

Acoustic Guitars: Collings D3 Dreadnought, Collings 000-2H 12-Fret, Taylor 810 Maple,

Taylor 600 Nylon Maple, Taylor 12 String, Model 3 Hermanos Conde,

Bass: Fender Jazz

Played in bands for almost 20 years, did some touring, now I teach, mainly Comp Theory, and Jazz Theory, But I still love it loud and fast, I own a small studio for recording, and co-own a design company.
