I'm a multi-instrumentalist singer, songwriter who is journeying to break new ground, by taking rock 'n roll just a little bit further musically and lyrically. I've played in various groups including (but not limited to), jam bands, praise teams, thrash metal bands, blues bands, and progressive rock bands. I was one of the founding members (as the drummer) of the powerhouse "free gospel" group Diagnosis Free. I've has also been privileged to be able to record in the same studio that was once used by the likes of Elvis Pressley, Roy Orbison, and Chet Atkins. He's written songs that range in genres from Motown, to Blues, to R&B, Hard Rock, Classic Rock, Psychedelic, Grunge, and Mainstream Rock. My goal is to make real, soulful, deep music that he can take to the world so that they can know freedom, hope, love, joy, and peace.
