I grew up in Chino California. With not much to do but milk cows and hang out, I got obsessed with music. In 4th grade (1984) I developed a love for New Wave music, growing to include Punk, Ska and eventually Rockabilly in my early 20s. While heavily in trenched in the Rockabilly scene, I was naturally exposed to, and became obsessed with Traditional Country and Bluegrass. My passion for Bluegrass has grown for the past 25 years becoming my favorite genre of music. I listen to it daily. To my ears, it closely resembles Punk Rock. 2-3 chords, fast tempos but played on acoustic old time instruments. 

I’ve  always loved the upright bass and wanted to learn since my teenage years. Back then I couldn’t afford one, nor did I have the proper car for it to fit in. In the spring of 2019, while attending a bluegrass festival, I went to a bass workshop. When I got home I picked up a bass and began teaching myself to play. After learning the basics, I began attending local jams where I met some folks that invited me to play at their homes with them, one of which was on Cobblestone Drive.

Outside of music, I have an amazing career in sales that I love. It’s with a giant company everyone knows and uses. Most importantly, I love spending time with my family. I’ve been married to my beautiful wife for 20 years and we have the best two teenage daughters that mean the world to me. I have tons of hobbies that I’m passionate about but music has always been at the top.
