FROM THE HIGH SCHOOL JAMS TO THE WEDDING BANDS, I HAVE PLAYED WITH A VARIETY OF MUSICIANS WHO HAVE INSPIRED ME TO BECOME A BETTER MUSICIAN. MY VOCAL, PIANO, GUITAR, & BASS INSTRUCTORS EACH HAD A LASTING IMPRESSION ON ME, BUT IT WAS THE FRIENDSHIPS I MADE AND THE CREATIVE ENERGY I LEARNED TO USE THAT ALLOWS ME TO CONTRIBUTE TO BIG CHIEF'S UNIQUE SOUND.

INFLUENCES: VICTOR WOOTEN, STANLEY CLARKE, GEDDY LEE, STEVE HARRIS, & ALL THE CRAZY STUFF I LISTENED TO UNTIL MY EARS SWELLED.

EQUIPMENT: SPECTOR NS BASS, FENDER PRECISION BASS, GALLIEN KRUEGER 400 RB AMPLIFIER, HARTKE SYSTEMS 410 XL SPEAKER CABINET.
