I initially showed an interest in the drums around the age of 18, but that was not very practical at the time. As fate would have it, I soon met a working bass player in my college art class and I was
immediately drawn to the idea of playing bass. I expressed an interest to my family and my cousin graciously lent me his right-handed short scale Memphis bass. The bass was accompanied by a tiny battery powered amp and I literality fumbled my way around for a little while.

With an increased level of interest and potential, I decided it was time to switch to an actual left-handed bass. Despite my laser-focus, finding an actual left-handed bass proved to be quite difficult. I ended up
with what seemed to be the only left-hand bass in town, which was an Ibanez SR series bass.

I also upgraded my amp to a 50 watt Crate combo. My gear was not very good, but it led to where I am today. I’ve been playing 17 years and the bass is still a significant part of my life. I play varying styles of music, ranging from alt-country, rock, funk, and jazz.
