I've played drums and percussion professionally since I was 14. I noodled on guitars for many years, but never took it seriously until around 2005. The same time I got my first bass as well. I've played in many bands over the years. But right now, I'm just writing and recording. I retired from the Army in 2000, but continues as a technical instructor and curriculum developer for the DOD, then a private Research and Development company. Then ultimately retired in 2016.
