started out as bass player in a metal band in longmont colorado in the 80's called Interlocken. Interlocken is a lake in Europe with a town between two lakes. so my buddy and I were two separate lakes bound by a city of music..... hence Interlocken. with my best friend Steve, who played guitar, I played bass. we had a drummer that never showed up he said he had a drum kit. It turns out was a Childs toy and all the skins were broken and the one cymbal was cracked! Steve and I shared instruments all the time and I fell in love with guitar and he with bass. we still have our old instruments he has the bass and I have the guitar. kid you not, we were awful. not even just bad, I mean painful bad. we used to invite our girlfriends to watch us practice, we played through a 8 channel peavy mixer into a yamaha guitar amp, we would crank the thing and play Megadeth Boots, circle jerks american heavy metal weekend, slayer die by the sward, and a few others. we knew a handful of songs we would play over and over. we messed around with some stuff we wrote. even had a album cover i drew on colored school paper! I drew it in history class! we have a live cassette tape from back in the day highly horrible stuff. but hey we thought we were cool. so on my birthday in july 86 I turned 18, we were at some friends house they asked me how Interlocken was going . I responded that it was good and I had a solo project also.... called Loner, cuz i was all alone. made it up on the spot as a joke. we gave it a good laugh. but loner stuck with me. any way, in fall of 86 i went to a studio and took classes it was a small private studio for the sax player with pure prairie league, his wife was the teacher Lisa Clawson. I loved it! i was hooked. I worked on two demos with Jock Bartley, and the bass player for a boulder band called the Fournicators,I don't remember his name but he was super cool to me. Larry Esphie {RIP} who worked a The Music Store in boulder introduced me to Craig Roush who was the sound man from the Blue Note in Boulder colorado and he took me under his wing and showed me the world of live sound. the need for growing and jobs took over my life and i dabbled with guitar over the years. in 2015 i participated in a dream come true! i was in a world class studio SWEETWATER SOUND in Fort Wayne Indiana with David Ellefson and Frank Bello, as they did a demo for a Attitudes and Altitude....www.altitudesandattitude.com. this totally got back interested in studio work, I got my own studio going. I subscribe to dueling mixes,Graham Cochrane, Recording Revalution posted a encouraging message about making a song from scratch and publishing it...... 

thats why I am hear with my first attempt. I will keep going and hopefully you will enjoy the journey as much as I do. 

till then have a great day,,,,, enjoy.....
