My journey with the guitar began at the tender age of 5 in the quaint town of New Ipswich, New Hampshire. From local bands to writing my own material, I explored genres ranging from Acoustic Americana to Heavy Metal throughout high school in Jaffrey.

Having graced venues across the USA and collaborated with music giants, I'm putting the finishing touches on my 21st album, with plans for a new release soon. Now calling Boston, MA, home, my guitar journey unfolds in the heart of the city's vibrant music scene.
