Group? Actually I'm more of a hired gun these days. A "Bass Stylist" if you will.

|
Influences:
|
Not sure who I would call influences though I know who one listens to becomes an influence. So here's my list in no particular order: Jeff Scheetz, Bloodgood, Angelica, Stryper, Whitecross, Joe Satriani, Stu Hamm, Gary Hoey, Bride, Alter Bridge, Trans-Siberian Orchestra, Queensryche, Scorpions, Guardian, Rush, Extreme, Barnabas, Barren Cross, Lanny Cordola, Rage of Angels, Tony MacAlpine, IC3 and more!

A unique blend of angelic voices and a cat fight.
