Music (Bass Player). Hiking, Kayaking and Rock Climbing.

I've been paying bass guitar for over 30 years. As the true "middle child" in a band setting the bass player must bridge the gap between the Drums and Guitar, Vocals. With one foot in the rhythmic world and one foot in the melodic the bass player takes the tempo and beat from the Drums and translate it into a complimentary pattern while still referencing the chord progression from the Guitar and Vocals. Being a Bass player has taught me many lessons in how to be a team player. 


As an avid outdoorsman I spend my free time Hiking, Camping, Kayaking and even doing a little Rock Climbing. Arizona has some incredible scenery.  I find happiness deep in the wilderness. You can follow my adventures on my YouTube channel "Walking with a Wookie".
