I am a 53-year-old international recording/touring guitarist originally from North Arlington, NJ.
Currently reside in Ramsey, NJ.
I've been a musician for over 40 years. National endorser for Ibanez guitars, Strings by Aurora LLC, Ampturco cables, Orange amps, Digitech pedals, Pick Guy guitar picks, Pedaltrain Pedal Boards, Lock-It Straps, and Checkered Pedals. Also teaching guitar since 1996.
Checkered Pedals has made my signature dual chorus/phaser pedal called Nuclear Paradise. As of July 22, 2017 my second signature pedal from Checkered Pedals was unveiled; triple delay/boost/overdrive called Layers Of Time. Two more signature pedals released: Marblehead wah, and Slippery Gypsy dual uni-vibe/envelope filter.
