<p>Hard Rock/Metal has been a big part of my life for 30+yrs.&nbsp; Yep, you read it right, &ldquo;30&rdquo;!&nbsp; Grab your jaw &ndash; it&rsquo;s ok, I&rsquo;ll explain.&nbsp; You are probably either a 20-something murmuring to yourself &ldquo;wow, this dude&rsquo;s ancient&rdquo; or perhaps a &ldquo;middle-aged&rdquo; person, like myself, reminiscing about all the great music that&rsquo;s been created since the early 80&rsquo;s.&nbsp; Who cares?&nbsp; Well &ndash; I think no matter what you do, mechanic, carpenter or guitarist, you only get better with experience.&nbsp; (<em>Well, ok that&rsquo;s kind of a general rule.&nbsp; Not &ldquo;everybody&rdquo; gets better.&nbsp; There is this thing called talent that comes into play &ndash; but you know what I mean, right</em>?)&nbsp; Anyway, 30+yrs of hard rocking has definitely rubbed off.&nbsp; Most importantly, you can hear it in the music I write and record where it matters the most.&nbsp; I&rsquo;ve taken those 30+yrs and forged a sound that&rsquo;s uniquely me.&nbsp;</p><p>I started out as a drummer, but my interest quickly turned to guitar in the early 80&rsquo;s.&nbsp; Somewhere around 1987 I lost count of the number of bands I had played in.&nbsp; I&rsquo;m a firm believer in diversification and how it can only make you stronger at what you do, so not all those bands were Hard Rock or Metal.&nbsp; Some were wedding bands, gulp, but musically it just added to my arsenal of experiences helping to shape and define the music I create today.&nbsp; Oh, and that Marshall Head had to be paid for some way too&hellip;</p><p>After taking a break in the 90&rsquo;s, I started recording again in early 2000 and released several singles on music sites such as MP3.COM (before it became the corporate cesspool it is today).&nbsp; I enjoyed several #1 songs on MP3.COM in the instrumental rock and metal categories.&nbsp;</p><p>In 2005 I released my first independent recording entitled &ldquo;Monster Me&rdquo;, 10 instrumental hard rock/metal songs, featuring my own brand of guitar-slinging.&nbsp; It was met with good reviews and increased my fan-base around the world.&nbsp; My latest release, &ldquo;Losing Faith&rdquo;, adds vocals to the equation and closes the circle in terms of providing the ultimate expression for the music I write.&nbsp; Losing Faith features 9 Hard Rock/Metal songs that provide a unique combination of intensity, melody and experiences I&rsquo;ve gathered over the last 30yrs.</p><p>&nbsp;</p>
