And thanks for visiting my little corner of the digital domain. Here I share my music, thoughts, philosophies, and general topics I find interesting.

So if you're into music; guitars, guitar gear and mods; healthy living & working out; web design & development, you're in the right place! Read on!

WARNING: I share my thoughts and opinions without the worries of being politically correct... or offending someone. After all, this is my site and I refuse to conform to suit anyone and everyone else's views. That would be absurd and impossible. Besides, it's good to get a little uncomfortable from time to time. :P

About

I started playing guitar at the age of 12 after being introduced to the music of Van Halen. Amazed and totally mesmerized by the sounds Eddie Van Halen conjured from his guitar, I began teaching myself how to play by dropping the needle on classic rock records… long before the advent of the internet and youtube. It was a long hard road but well worth it. Self-taught and learning by ear helped me to forge a voice all my own and birthed a passion for music and all things guitar related. By the age of 15, I was traveling and gigging every weekend with my band. And in a few years, I was touring the country full-time as a professional musician.

Growing up without a TV or the current day distractions of the internet, I had the time to learn and hone my skills as a guitarist versatile in many genres of music.

My dedication, hard work, & positive attitude have landed me many opportunities over the years, both in session work and in live support. I have played with a ton of musicians, some of the more notable: Joel Kosche(Collective Soul), Louie Weaver(Petra), Jimi Bennett(Sacred Fire, King James). I've received accolades from famous musicians I've had the opportunity to work with; One of my favorite being from Petra drummer, Louie Weaver, who said, “Shane is the most talented, and the best guitarist I’ve ever had the opportunity to work with.” Famous rock guitarist, Reb Beach(Winger, Whitesnake, Dokken) exclaimed, “You’re totally awesome dude! See you at the top!!”.
