As a highly experienced studio musician specializing in pedal steel guitar, electric guitar, dobro, and acoustic guitar, I bring over 35 years of recording expertise and a deep passion for crafting music. Whether you're based in Chicago, Austin, LA, London, Munich, or anywhere in between, I am here to help you record your songs.

I read and write both standard music notation and Nashville number charts.

Pedal Steel Guitar - Equipped with a Mullen G2 D10, Little Walter PF89 Amp, and Kemper Profiler Amp for optimal sound quality.

Guitar - Proficient with a wide range of instruments, including a Fender Telecaster with Glaser B Bender, Martin D28 acoustic, semi-hollow body electric, baritone guitar, and nylon string classical guitar. I have the right tools for every musical occasion. My guitar playing style is influenced by legendary guitarists like James Burton, Albert Lee, Steve Gibson, Larry Carlton, Robben Ford, Jimmy Capps, and Grady Martin.

Dobro/Resonator Guitar: I possess extensive experience across various styles and can track both mic’d and direct for versatility in sound.

My Experience:
• With a rich history of 20 years touring with the US Army Band and performances alongside Grammy-winning artists and Grand Ole Opry members, I fully understand the nuances of delivering excellence in every recording session.
• I have had the pleasure of playing behind esteemed artists such as Larry Gatlin, Johnny Rodriguez, Becky Hobbs, Chris Hillman/Herb Pederson, David Ball, Confederate Railroad, David Allen Coe, Hank Thompson, Del Reeves, Russ Taff, Woody Wright, and many more.
• My extensive background includes thousands of studio sessions where I’ve contributed to songs, full albums, film scores, TV/radio commercials, worship music backing tracks, and television broadcasts.
• I’ve tracked at studios in Nashville, Indianapolis, Chicago, Oklahoma City, and my home studio in Peoria, IL where I utilize Logic Pro on a Mac computer for professional-grade recordings.
