Deep undergroud, in places people don't like to go, where things happen that your own grandma won't talk about, I was born into the body of a bean.

I don't like talking about myself too much, but here's this... bean

I love making music and I love making things, so pedal building is a happy accident for me. Mostly, it came from being too broke to buy any gear. I owned and used only two pedals for about a decade: a TS-10 and a Digitech PDS-1000 Digital Delay. I used those for both my bass and guitar gigs. Even my drum gigs, I think. Anyway, rather than spend money I didn't have, I decided it would be more fun to take a "peek under the hood" and see what the whole effects thing was about. That was about six years ago, and the obsession grows a little more every day!

Music: I play in a band called "Radiophonic" with my best buds Graham Duncan, Mike Galante and Daniel Loyd. We've been playing together in some form or another for almost two decades. I really love these guys. They are the best of all things: great musicians, great friends and partners in crime. We're signed to a small independent label, Soona Songs, owned and operated by none other than Graham's mother, Marilyn Duncan - a seriously talented folk musician in her own right.

We've been working on a new record called "I Could Have Been a Rocket Scientist". Production started in Sept. 2005 and we've finally just mastered it in March 2010. It's kind of a labor of love. If you want to find out more about the music, please head over to the Soona Songs website to check on the final release date. Our plans are a digital release, followed by a possible CD and vinyl release.
