There is something about musical equipment... particularly guitars that really sparks my interest. Ever since I was a kid, my candy store was the music store. I would spend endless hours marveling at the different models on the walls that my weekly allowance couldn't come close to affording.

Growing up I was fortunate to have parents who understood my passion, and ever since the day my dad came home with my first real electric guitar in his hand, I've been an avid collector.

Today I own over two dozen guitars, basses and various other odd stringed instruments. I'm sure it doesn't end here, but the urge to buy new ones have weakend.

I still manage to play and cherish each and every one of them. The few that I have sold over the years I regret getting rid of, and I've also had two stolen and one destroyed in a house fire.

From the moment I first set foot in a recording studio, I knew that someday I would have my own place to lay tracks. But before the days of desktop audio workstations, cassette four tracks were the only affordable way to get my fix.

I'm very excited about the way things are going. To combine audio recording with my second greatest passion... computers, is a dream come true. Now I can lay down ideas right to a hard drive in prestine digital quality, and with all the loops and samples available, ideas come to me much easier. Digital recording has opened up an exciting new world for me.
