Brian's been playing guitar since the age of 10. It started when he heard Van Halen's "1984" album and Ratt's "Out of the Cellar" album. Those albums planted the musician's disease in him. He hasn't put his guitar down since. Those early years of non-stop playing molded him into a very versitile lead guitar player today. He is also an accomplished vocalist of many years.

Brian's been playing in rock cover and original bands since the age of 16. Some of the bands include; Blind Spot, Sick Addiction, The Vow, Soundcheck, Vault Theory, and Echo of Souls...to name a few. He's done some small west coast tours and has opened for some large national artists over the years. Chasing the dream never really dies.

Brian works very hard at nailing down the professional sounding guitar tone and works just the same on his vocals. He takes his craft seriously and prides himself in his performance and sound.

Likes: Guitars, guitars and more guitars, brunettes that love musicians, Crown and Cokes, playing live in front of a packed venue, remembering all my lyrics. Being the youngest male in the band!. Giants/Niners...oh and King of Queens rocks.

Dislikes: Social retards, rude women, having to pay for drinks when you're the entertainment, bad singers, bad guitar tone, A's/Dodgers/Raiders. Forgetting lyrics!

Favorite Artists : Van Halen, Alice in Chains, The Police, Chevelle, Velvet Revolver, Breaking Benjamin, Rush, Godsmack, Daughtry, Alter Bridge, Journey, Led Zeppelin, Aerosmith, Keith Urban, Foo Fighters, Badlands, Richie Kotzen, Elton John, The Killers
