"Born and raised in Cleveland, Ohio. Started my musical journey 1970. Listening to Jimi Hendrix, Santana, Marvin Gaye, Smokey Robinson, Grant Green and Wes Montgomery...all that kind of great stuff. The guitar is a passion of mine from that time and still is. Though my life has taken some very tough turns to the lowest of lows. My art and music has been a steady beacon of love from God to me. With that light shining on me I am on the mountain top, above hate and suffering."
