About Me
I'm a network engineer by trade and an amateur musician by choice. Born and raised in Seattle and still live in the area. Bought my first guitar at age 14 because of Jim Croce, and formed my first band at 18 right about the time Tom Petty's first record came out. I've been playing ever since, and I'm currently in a band with guys I met at work almost 30 years ago.

Hobbies
Playing music whenever possible. I play guitar and do the lead vocals with my band. I also play a little mandolin, ukulele, and bass guitar at times. Aside from music, I spend time with my family and my wife and I are especially enjoying our first grandchild who just had his first birthday.
Favorite Bands
The Beatles, The Rolling Stones, Bob Dylan, and Neil Young. I have a pretty large Buddy Holly collection of original vinyl, and I like many many other bands as well - too many to list.

Favorite Concert You've Been To
Extremely diffiicult to pick the best concert ever. McCartney made me cry. Zeppelin was epic. Every Tom Petty show seemed better than the last one. First show ever was Foghat, and I remain a big fan.
