I am influenced by solo guitarists, virtuosos, and people who do that which was thought impossible or was never thought of at all. In no particular order, Don Ross, Michael Chapdelaine, Andy Mckee, Antoine Defour, Justin King, Jonathan Wilson, Jonathan Nicholson, Don Alder, Hunter S. Thompson, Philip Toshio Sudo, Bruce Lee, J.R.R. Tolkien, to name a few.

I am now playing friday nights at madeliene's, downtwon spokane, across from the bon building 7-10pm
I started playing guitar right before I turned sixteen. I have played around with lots of different influences over the years, and everything has kind of colaborated to a very unique, approach to my style. Having "nack" for arrangement and technique, combined with never really involving myself with a serious combo, I became increasingly facinated with composistions where the guitar was the whole song. I found myself listening to alot of Don Ross, Stanley Jordan and other vurtuoso soloists, who could carry a whole song by themselves. Now my goal is to etch myself in this culture of guitar. I know everyone wants me to do vocals, but everyone has a song within them, they just have to sing it...my voice is the guitar.
