Got a KISS record when I was 13 for Christmas.... thats when it all started even though I took piano lessons when I was 7.....I was playing the Sunset Strip with my band when I was 14.....

KISS 1977 Love Gun tour at the LA Forum.... Cheap Trick opened.. an amazing show!! I also saw both Randy Rhoads and Van Halen before they were signed.... Gotta love growing up in LA....

I'm currently endorsed by over 50 music equipment companies....My main stage guitars are all custom made pieces ( and green..lol..)... Greg Back custom RN prototype guitar (main guitar tuned down to D) , Ed Roman custom RN guitar (with prototype Stone Tone trem block), J Taylor custom RN V..... I also just had my first good guitar an original 1979 Ibanez Iceman refinished in Green by my good friend Bob White. I've also started playing it live again.. It sounds great....He went through the entire guitar and now it's just like new...I have it tuned down to D....Bob even inlayed a cool giant N on the face of the guitar...I also have a great Traveler Guitar that I just had Bob paint green for me....great for taking on planes...it also sounds great through my live rig...I might have to use it on stage one of these days...

I just re-did my main pedalboard so I can reproduce the sounds from my new Inertia CD that coming out in January.Fix Pedalboards just made me a great custom RN pedalboard.I can't say enough great things about Tim and Lisa over at Fix Pedalboards...They really know their stuff...as much of a gear geek I thought I was Tim is a 100 times worse...lol....It's a great thing...I've had to add a few pedals to re-create the sounds that are on the new CD. In my Fix pedalboard I have a Morley Tremonti Wah, Whirlwind Orange Box Phaser, Boss Chorus ,Digitech Delay,Boss OC-3,Digitech Whammy all powered by a modified Decibel 11 Deluxe Hot Stone power supply (Modded by Decibel 11 to also power the Whammy) ...all cables Whirlwind ..on bigger shows a Brace Audio wireless is employed...

To meet lots of great music fans and to get my music out there!!!!

KISS.... Because they looked like Rockstars and had great songs.... Still a huge fan of early KISS.... Ace rules!!!!

I lead my own band..... Yes, I play a lot of shows and play lots of clinics and trade shows for my sponsors...I also do sessions every now and then and have played on a few very high profile artists projects.....

Hmmmm.... I have jammed with a lot of high profile players....Probably EVH... or maybe Ace Frehley..... Both are heroes of mine...
