Welcome!
I’m a Michigan-born guitarist who’s always been a bit of a creative wanderer. Over the years, I’ve worn a lot of hats—performer, multi-instrumentalist, songwriter, composer, producer, engineer, programmer, designer, builder… the list goes on. I guess that’s part of why I’ve flown under the radar. I’ve never stopped moving. I’m addicted to creativity and obsessed with learning anything and everything I can get my hands on.
I toured throughout the wild ride of the ‘80s, spent most of the ‘90s buried in studio work, and kept performing across the U.S. well into the 2000s. For the past couple of decades, I’ve also put my skills to work designing, building, and consulting on recording studios in and around Los Angeles.
I call myself a rock guitarist, but the truth is I’ve always pulled from a mix of influences—blues, country, jazz, soul, pop. If it moves me, I’ll find a way to weave it in. My work as a musician, arranger, and producer has made its way into film, television, and radio, and I’m proud of every strange and beautiful turn the journey has taken.
Just before the pandemic, I felt a strong pull to reconnect with my roots. My longtime friend and collaborator, Tommy Johnsmiller, felt the same, and together we launched a new chapter with Foundry Town Survivors. Since then, we’ve released over a dozen singles, an EP, and several videos. A couple of years ago, we started what has now become our annual hometown show—something we truly look forward to each year. This year’s show is set for August 15th, and we can’t wait to be back.
