Influences
I started my bass career playing in an SRV clone band and then on to a well known local blues band for 10 years. While looking to expand beyond the blues, I began playing in a rock band for approximately 5 years and then with Second Glance for over 20 years playing rock, alt rock and pop in clubs, dances and weddings in Southern Ontario. While playing with Second Glance I filled in with other bands on numerous occasions and also did some project work with a female country act. The genre focus now is Rock, Alt and some Heavy Rock, Pop, Blues, R&B and some Country, along with numerous hits from the 70's through to today. I maintain a wide range of music that can be played at a moments notice and provide backing vocals.

EQUIPMENT
My current gear is comprised of Washburn, Gibson and Ibanez 4 and 5 String bass guitars. I have 3 amps - Fender 75 Watt Rumble as well as Fender 500 Watt combo amps. I also have a larger 1000 Watt Warwick Amp along with Warwick and Peavy cabinets for larger stage venues. I come with microphone and stand for backing vocals if needed.
