From San Antonio and originally started on drums. I played for a few Tejano bands and also for Church. I ended up switching to guitar, because it was easier to carry around an acoustic than to lug an entire drum set around.

First real band was formed with singer Alfred Garcia in Stoneside and later changed the name to Uneven. The band originally started out as a cover band and transitioned to an all orginial band. Guitar was a smooth transition and it payed off. At this time I played through a Peavey 5150 II halfstack and slaved a 5150 halfstack for stereo using a Boss GT-3 with a Gibson SG tuned to dropped C and an Epiphone custom Dot Deluxe in standard tuning.

I took a hiatus for about 20 years and delved deep into martial arts in American Kenpo Karate, Kenpo 5.0, and Jiujitsu. Later I took up mountain biking. I created a Youtube channel for MTB and rode all over in Texas and even Colorado. There was still something missing. Then I got the call one night - "You should get back into music." I dusted off my guitar and gear and started working on a solo idea. I came to a point where I needed more and also collaboration and that is when Fallen Silent was born. 

It is my aim to bring back the fun in music. To have people tap their foot and sing along. It's time to get everyone involved again and have a great time. There should be an experience every time Fallen Silent has a show.
