Bio

Born and raised in Cleveland, Ohio. Started playing guitar at college in nowhere, Indiana. Played as much as a band in southeastern Indiana could for 4 years in college. Always focused on original music and followed that to Cincinnati with the best musical partner one could ask for...push came to shove 3 years later and I took a job in sales in Virginia... always writing. playing as much as i can with the 8-5 sometimes 6, sometimes 7 job keeping me busy. i like to think that the my songs sound familiar to people even while not fitting quite so easily into the typical box...sometimes i wish i was edgier, but well, that just ain't me...nothing in your face about me, but that certainly don't mean there ain't a whole lot to it past bands i was in that you've never heard of 1) sometime saluda, 2) kickdrum benny & the saluda boys (a sort of redress of the first band), 3) passenger aboard, and 4) Quatrojos (for a bit of time i thought this was a great name for a solo artist...it's starting to lose its amusement to me though) i know i've got what it takes to at least write BIG songs, and i think i've got what it takes to play them... just looking for some exposure and a chance to get out from under the corporate bed i made for myself two years ago... if you think my songs are good enough to be sourced out to other artists...great...if you think i'm good enough to make a run at it...even better. enjoy and i'm more than happy to send things wherever the interest might be, don't care if your in the biz, just like that you wanna listen. and as always...peace.
