I’m fun loving new age hippie. I love grass, music, & martial arts. I’ve been playing/obsessed with the bass(electric & Upright) for 19 years. I’ve been playing electric bass for 19 years and Upright Double Bass for only about 2 years now.

Favorite Genres
Psychedelic Rock would be the best way to describe the music I end up always creating & mostly end up listening to also but with every single type of music and genre sprinkled in.
Gigs and Ensembles
Currently just working on getting better sight reading & on the Upright Double Bass so I can be completely prepared for my ultimate goal and dream, cruise ship gigs. I’m also the fill in bassist for the reggae band Bludgeon Muffin.
Previously Owned Gear
I’ve been through too many to name at this point
G.A.S. List
Actually I’ve been really lucky I’ve pretty much been able to acquire everything on my musical instrument bucket list in the 19 years I’ve been playing bass. Except for a real Hofner 500/1 4-string Violin Bass and a real Rickenbacker 4-string Bass
Influences and Teachers
Geoff Chambers from Discover Double Bass has taught me a lot recently. The reason why I play bass is because of Les Claypool and Paul McCartney, they are my two biggest influences.
Hobbies and Interests
Besides bass and TB, I really love jiujitsu & playing the Accordion
