Guitarist for Gwen Stefani, the band America, Avril Lavigne, Vertical Horizon and many more.

I'm a Los Angeles-based session guitarist, songwriter & producer. Some of the artists I've worked with include Gwen Stefani, the band America, Avril Lavigne, Vertical Horizon, Five For Fighting, Don Felder, and Marc Broussard.

A graduate of Berklee College of Music in Boston, I'm also an experienced guitar instructor and clinician. Another passion of mine is composing music for film and TV, my most recent placement being on Apple TV.

I love collaborating with others and pride myself in putting 100% into every project. I can help produce your music or create pro-quality guitar tracks to support and enhance your songs.

I look forward to working on your next track!

Q: What's your strongest skill?
A: My strongest skill is being fully committed to anything I'm working on. I take real pride in my work and my attention to detail has served me well. My versatility has enabled me to adapt to most situations.
Q: What do you bring to a song?
A: When I work on a song, I listen to everything. I don't think about what I CAN play, but rather what I SHOULD play. I always try to support the vocal or featured instrument, adding "ear candy" wherever appropriate.
