I like to say that my muse is the voice of my subconscious- that I'm constantly working on lyrics and music in my head and then in an instant I find them coming out on paper and on the guitar.

My influences range from metal (starting around age 8 with Metallica and Iron Maiden) to Alt. Country (when I was a teenager with Uncle Tupelo) to folk Singer/Songwriters (now). Three of my favorite bands/musicians are Disturbed, Son Volt and Rocky Votolato. My music is a culmination of those three influences. Some songs have a good driving beat and constant loudness inspired by metal. Others take the more mellow approach of folk songwriters.

I don't have a grand story- I'm just a normal guy writing songs to help me deal with the crap aspects of life and to savor the good parts. My hope is that you can find solace or happiness, as the case may be, through listening to my music.
