Age 10. I joined the school marching band as a drummer.

As you can appreciate over my lifetime I've developed a large vocabulary of sounds each requiring certain physical techniques often combined with a specific effect box.

My favorite puzzle is trying to work out the parts myself, after all it is a solo effort.

Currently I'm working with Parker Fly on a new Midi guitar to arrive next year.

I was left with an urge to make the guitar sound like things it shouldn't be able to sound like.

I thought I might be a band instructor, someone who plays all the instruments and teaches others.

Yes, but don't forget I also have the luxury of the worlds finest band when it gets lonely.
