II was exposed to my parent's 50s rock and roll records at an early age. I loved my dad's Bo Diddley and Buddy Holly records and my mom's Ricky Nelson and Elvis Records.

By high school, I picked up the guitar and got into the Stones and Chess Blues. In college, I discovered Memphis Soul.

My favorite guitar players are Keith Richards, Buddy Holly, Chuck Berry, Steve Cropper, Bo Diddley, James Burton, Duane Eddy, Brian Setzer, Freddie Green, and Charlie Christian.

My favorite Guitars are a Fender Tele and Strat, a Gretsch 6120, a Gibson J-200, and an Epiphone Triumph.
