Lead Guitar Specialist
With over 20 years of live performance, studio recording, and songwriting under my belt, I've built a reputation for delivering lead guitar work that serves the song while bringing raw emotion and technical precision to every track.
Growing up in Yosemite, CA, my playing was shaped by the soul of blues legends, the grit of classic rock, and the storytelling of country music. That foundation led me through countless touring gigs, recording sessions, and collaborations with artists across the spectrum—from indie rock bands to established R&B acts.
At Golden Hour Sound & Studios, I bring that same philosophy to session work: every note needs to mean something. Whether you need searing blues solos, melodic country licks, crushing metal riffs, or smooth R&B fills, I focus on crafting parts that elevate your music and connect with listeners.
I work fast, I communicate clearly, and I'm not satisfied until the guitar part makes your song better. Let's create something meaningful together.
