Born in the west, my early influences started with Elvis, KISS, Led Zeppelin, Journey, Boston, Sammy Hagar, Foreigner, 38 Special, Van Halen, Aerosmith, Elton John and many more.
Later, it was Judas Priest, Iron Maiden, Fastway, Ratt, Riot, Scorpions, and Whitesnake among others, that were driving me. It took another twenty years before I answered the call from Rock and roll, but I took that call and haven't looked back since.
