Influenced by jazz music from an early age, he incorporated several elements into his music, developing his own unique sound. He primarily plays old Fender Stratocasters and Telecasters, although he has recently also been playing K-Line guitars. He is known for his raw, powerful solos and use of sweep picking.[1]

He later transferred to University of Colorado Boulder along with the other members of the band, which achieved some mainstream success in the early to mid-1990s.
