I take pride in being a bass player and have for years. The bass is a lot of fun to play and a very dynamic instrument. It has served as a gateway for me to travel all over the country, meet many great people, and perform alongside some of the best musicians out there. The bass often serves as the bridge for the rhythm to intersect with the melody. The bass is one of the most important instruments on the stage for this reason. It brings everything and everyone together. That is what I strive to do as a musician.

Some of the musicians I have had the honor of sharing the stage or bill with include: Leon Russell, Dickey Betts, Bill Kreutzmann, George Porter Jr., Ivan Neville, Wayne Kramer, Jill Sobule, Ike Reilly Assassination, Particle, The Lee Boys, Michael Hampton and many more.

Here are some of my primary bass influences: James Jamerson, Paul Chambers, Scott LaFaro, Rick Danko, George Porter Jr., Carl Radle, Willie Dixon, Willie Weeks, Darrin Vincent and many more.

I typically play my German upright or Fender Precision through Ampeg amplification. My passion these days has been with concentrating on jazz standards. I also own a rare acoustic resonator Fender bass for a unique swampy americana flavor. Lead, back-up, and harmony vocals are performed as well. Absolutely love good harmonies and solid harmonies, in my opinion, are what separate many of the great bands from everyone else.

Have done several studio recordings along with personal Pro Tools equipment as well as video recording capabilities. I have also been fortunate to get some music into films. Experienced with live sound, own a PA suitable for many venues, and also have live recording equipment.

Booking experience is another skill I take great pride in. I have been very fortunate to have booked hundreds of shows in and around LA including venues such as the House of Blues, Brixton South Bay, Saint Rocke, The Mint, Canyon Club and many more. Other notable bookings include festivals, wine tasting events, NASCAR musical entertainment, private parties, charity events and countless other occasions.

Thank you for taking the time to look through the site and hopefully we will cross paths again soon.
