I was born in the Philippines in 1966.  My family moved to the U.S. mainland in 1968.  My father was in the military, and we traveled from California, to Hawaii, back to the Philippines, to Alabama, then finally to Colorado in 1980 where I've lived ever since.

I first began to play the guitar at age 13.  My mother bought me an acoustic guitar that I could never figure out how to tune.  It sat around for a year or so collecting dust before I decided to learn how to play.  I've never taken lessons (hopefully you don't notice!) and have developed my style by learning from other aspiring guitarists.  Over the years, I've educated myself in playing the bass guitar, piano, drums, and singing.

While growing up, I enjoyed listening to music by artists such as Rick Springfield, Cheap Trick, Journey, and Styx.  Today I enjoy listening to Eric Johnson, the Goo Goo Dolls, and Vertical Horizon.  I enjoy melodic rock that can stimulate my emotions.

My professional career started in 1986 when I graduated from the Denver Institute of Technology.  I started working in the computer industry, and over the years, have contributed my skills and experiences to several small and large companies.

I've played in several bands, but was never in a serious music scene.  In the late 90's, I decided to give up performing and focused my time and energy in writing and recording.  In 1999, I completed my first CD entitled 'Motion'.

In 2002, I co-founded the company Moving Moments with my wife Adrienne.  This company provides wedding photography and videography services to brides and grooms.

Today, I work hard to balance my busy lifestyle.  I enjoy spending time with my wife, dog (Roxi), and cat (Max).  I continue to educate myself in the computer industry to make myself a competitive professional.  I'm helping my wife build our wedding imagery business hoping that one day we can survive on it alone.  Life can be hectic, but I try to find time to write and record more music.
