About Me
I play bass exclusively because I love the deep sound and I love to groove. I was introduced to upright bass in orchestra at the age of 12 (back when everyone took music in middle school), and after graduating from high school went on to earn my Associate's Degree from Musicians Institute in Hollywood, California where I received teacher's honors and was awarded a beautiful 5-string Ibanez bass.
I have been teaching bass guitar for over 20 years in Aurora, Colorado. Former student's of mine have gone on to study and graduate from such prestigious schools as Berklee College of Music and North Texas State University. Some have become very successful professional performers, opening up for such greats as The Victor Wooten Trio, Parliament Funkadelic, and many more.
I've performed and recorded with many exceptional musicians, including Howard Wales of the Jerry Garcia Band (Album - Complex Simplex '01), Wild Card and Naked Lunch. Currently I'm performing with the Wendy Woo Band since joining in 2012. Wendy Woo is a Colorado native and multi award winning member of the Colorado music Hall of Fame.
(Albums: Live CD/DVD '14, Tipping Point '15, S.W. Indie Music Award Winners '14, '15).
