I was born in San Diego, CA, but have spent 36 of my 38 years living in the west suburbs of Chicago.

This site is the hub for everything related to my solo music.

I grew up playing in a band called Paradigm from 2001-2011, where I was the guitarist/lead singer. We recorded and released a bunch of albums, EPs, and we played hundreds of times around the city of Chicago. It was with this band that I cut my teeth on writing songs and playing live.

In 2010, I joined Black Canvas, a band started by Paradigm drummer Jack Essenburg and Hotel Ahead frontman Matt Murray. Two EPs were released and we logged dozens of performances around Chicago, opening for some iconic bands, including Lovedrug, The Appleseed Cast, and The Felix Culpa. As of late 2014, Black Canvas is on hiatus, but you can still hear our music. Click on the "Links" tab at the top of your screen.

I played bass for Austin Edwards (America’s Got Talent Finalist 2020) for 3.5 years. I got the opportunity to play some massive shows around the U.S., opening for Cheap Trick, Brett Michaels, Jake Owen, Scotty McCreary, and others.

I like eating tacos and making fart jokes. Most of my website photos are outdated. Instagram is really the only reliable place to see new visuals.

Thank you for listening.
