PERSONALITY
Your most valued possession:
My Ernie Ball Music Man Guitar

Where do you hanging out:
PJ O’Reilleys – that’s where I get to play guitar for a living, which is pretty awesome.

One thing you cannot live without: Music

Car you’d like to own: Nissan 350z

Five things you need for survival: Guitar, football, YouTube, sunglasses and the gym.

Where do you see yourself in 10 years? Anywhere playing my guitar for people that still appreciate real music made by real instruments.

Your goal in life? To make music for the rest of my life, never having to get a normal job and loving every second wholeheartedly for as long as possible.

What item do you keep buying even though you have plenty? Guitar equipment. Anything from actual guitars to effects pedals and random guitar gadgets . I’m a total gear junkie.

Who in your life deserves a big old thank you? My Parents, without their love and support over the years I would not be who I am today. They showed me that anything is possible if I really want it.

Who would you most like to be stuck in an elevator with? And least like with? Definitely Batman, he’s badass! Least like must be Justin Bieber.

List the songs you would want to play on your funeral. Please no sad music, only good music! Stuff I like to listen to: Dream Theater – Images and Words, Incubus – Morning View. And just for fun, Racer X – Street Lethal, Richie Kotzen – Peace Sign.

If you had to be trapped in a TV show for a month, which show would you choose? Two and a half men when Charlie Sheen was still there, that should be fun.

If you could be anywhere in the world right now, where would you be? Definitely Nashville Tennessee. I’ve never been there, but heard so much about the music scene there. Sounds like a place I would never want to live in.

If you could have personally witnessed one event in history, what would you want to have seen? Woodstock 1969
