Originally from Connecticut, I picked up my first guitar at 13 and spent most of my younger years playing in rock bands and jazz trios, gigging around southern New England, and teaching guitar lessons. My musical ambitions took a backseat when I joined the military, and after deciding to hang up the uniform in 2023, Iām back on the circuit and looking forward to making music with creative people.
I married the love of my life, Faith, in 2023. She is a successful professional artist, and we live next to the water in coastal Virginia with our dog Junebug. When not making music, we are enthusiastic gardeners, foodies, hikers, and general purpose nerds.
I am currently pursuing my long-time goal of finishing a bachelors degree in Music at William & Mary while performing in the greater Williamsburg/Richmond area.
My recent musical credits include two years supporting local folk/bluegrass band Chisman Creek, and occasionally filling in on guitar duties for local acts, and producing a number of singer/songwriters.
I love playing music in any venue, large or small, and have a great time regardless of genre or band makeup. My greatest musical high comes from hearing a song that is a work in progress and finding the missing piece or small change that can elevate the composition.
