"After being born and raised in southern California, I yearned to see what life was all about outside of my little bubble. I traveled all over the world with a tent, a mask & snorkel, and a guitar on my back after graduating from UCSan Diego to learn all the things they do not teach you of in college...and to teach myself to play acoustic guitar and harmonica. I hiked, sailed, and climbed to some of the most beautiful places on the planet both above and below water to write some music and search for the eternal answers. I hitch-hiked through South Africa and Zimbabwe, I sailed through Mexico and Indonesia, I climbed mountains in Thailand and Nepal.....and I was playing my tunes around bonfires, riverbanks, and beaches....writing and sharing my sonic creations with people from all over the world. Then I started playing music in bars in places like Costa Rica and New Zealand for beer and dinner. When I eventually came back home to "the OC," I found that my music was the "gold" that I had been seeking in these 23 countries I had visited...that I was passionate about the music I was creating...but that I needed to put down the backpack and explore other things for a while...like recording some music...and waking up in the same bed several nights in a row! So I moved onto a sailboat for 4 years and wrote and performed my tunes as I sailed all over the western Pacific from Los Angeles to Puerta Vallarta, Mexico. Lately, I have been sticking a little closer to home and playing music in bars and nightclubs from southern California to northern Colorado.
