I first realized how much I loved music as a little kid and it was very clear to me that I heard music differently from my family and most of my friends.
I followed my dream to California in 2005 with my old band Spectre. I'm proud I did as this decision has lead me to play with a lot of great people and music has taken me around the globe.
There's nothing more satisfactory then when a new song comes together. I try to always play for the song with every artist I have the privilege of playing with.
Since 2016 I've been touring and recording with Hollywood based Max Fite, we've completed several tours featuring stops at SXSW2018 and opening slots for Candlebox, ÆGES, Walking Papers, The Guessing Game, Palooka, Jesse Malin, and LAMF: A Tribute to Johnny Thunders featuring Mike Ness of Social Distortion, Glenn Matlock of The Sex Pistols, Clem Burke of Blondie, and Walter Lure of Johnny Thunders and The Heartbreakers. In April of 2019 Max Fite headed to Rancho de la Luna to record our full length debut album featuring guest appearances from Joey Castillo (The Bronx, Danzig, Queens Of The Stone Age) on drums, and Dave Catching (Eagles Of Death Metal) on guitar.
When I haven't been on the road with Max Fite, I've also been gigging and writing and recording with Las Vegas based PVSHER featuring vocalist Jonny Sculls and guitarist Jinxx of Black Veil Brides. We are currently working on new material as well.
In February of 2019 I was asked to fill in with Vancouver based Celtic Punk Band The Real McKenzies (Stomp Records/Fat Records) and upon completion of a West Coast run with the band, I was invited to be a part of a 7 week European tour with the band with club shows on weeknights, and festivals on weekends including about 2/3 of the Punk In Drublic festivals across the continent. The Real McKenzies have taken me to 12 countries across Europe and North America so far.
In the fall of 2019 I began working with Las Vegas, NV based rock band Electric Radio Kings. In the summer of 2020 we revamped the lineup, wrote an entirely new sounding batch of songs and have begun working on a full length album with producer Mike GIllies (Metallica, The Cult, Shania Twain) at the helm under the moniker Crashing Wayward. Our debut single "Breath" has been picked up by indie radio across North America and Europe and the Las Vegas Knights have been so kind as to play the song during home games in the 2020 Stanley Cup Playoffs. Our second single "Disco Kills" has just been released with an accompanying video directed by my good friend Vicente Cordero at Industrialism Films.
