History
Origins — Emerald Steel
First band lineup — Emerald Steel
Live at Hairy Eyeball (Kendall, FL), 1988 Battle of the Bands — 1st place.

Early days meant loud rooms, small stages, and big riffs. Emerald Steel was the first serious chapter: classic metal energy, tight arrangements, and the foundation of the tone and feel that still runs through everything I do.

From stage to studio
Transitioning from live band work into recording, arranging, and long‑form projects.

Over time, the focus shifted from just playing shows to building worlds: concept pieces, layered arrangements, and projects that live as much in headphones as they do on stage.
