Experienced musician from Pittsburgh who specializes in electric guitar, especially in the styles of blues, rock, progressive rock, experimental, and funk. I'm first and foremost a lead guitarist and strat player, but I'm comfortable playing acoustic and rhythm. Biggest influences are Pink Floyd (David Gilmour), Porcupine Tree, early Clapton/Derek & the Dominos, Hendrix, Radiohead, Phish, King Crimson, Genesis, Joe Bonamassa, Joe Satriani, etc. Harmony vocals are another strong point.

I lived in Atlanta from 2010-2013, during which time I was a member of The First Stone, an Atlanta alternative rock band that had 2 albums under their belt before I joined. During my tenure with the band, while consistently gigging around the Atlanta area, we wrote and recorded the band's self-titled album (or probably more correctly a long EP), which was released in December of 2013. Check it out at www.thefirststone.com/listen. I'm back in Pittsburgh and excited to make a splash in the Pittsburgh music scene. Feel free to contact me about my music or about potential projects--I'm always happy to collaborate on new projects or to do one-off sessions.
