[edit] Biography

He was born on the Weisbaden Airforce Base in Hessen, Germany. Growing up in Memphis, TN set him on the path to glory in his teens. Early enfluences include extreme metal acts such as Exhumed, Soilent Green, Slayer, Pig Destroyer, Ghoul, Impaled, Frightmare, and Gruesome Stuff Relish. Current influences power metal acts including Dragonforce, Rhapsody (Of Fire), and Yngwie Malmsteen. Ebolacide was created in 1999 as a two piece featuring Tim O'Neil on drums. A five track demo was circulated, much to highly-sought acclaim. During recording of the first album the band broke apart, resulting in the formation of The Knighthood. A cd is in the process of being written and will be out next August.

'Musical Style'

His musical styles range from grinding riffs to epic and majestic melodies. He studies neo-classical guitarist such as Luca Turilli, Ywngie Malmsteen, and Randy Rhoads. His soloing shows mastery of arpeggios, legato, and melody. This is one guitarist to look for out of the up-and-comers.
