As a writer, producer, and musician who plays multiple instruments, I have amassed an arsenal of musical equipment that allows me to pull just about every sound I hear in my head into reality. This enables me to mimic the most popular sounds in yesterday's and today's music, as well as create my own sound(s) and style. I have taken great care to select gear that will allow me to have as diversified a selection of sonic tools as possible, by going through more gadgets, gizmos, recorders, mixers, processors, mics, guitars, amps and effects than I can count. As a guitarist I generally favor custom musical instruments and equipment, or at the least, heavily modified ones in order to achieve the level performance I insist on. I don't follow trends or "what's hot" when I purchase any piece of equipment. I let my ears be my guide when selecting gear, regardless of the name, age or other factor. This means I have stuff that comes from many different time periods, new and old.

On their corresponding pages you will find detailed descriptions of my gear and an image selector for each page in order to view each piece.
