Godin Guitars
Guitar Sponsor
I have been an artist for Godin Guitars since 2011 and have been playing and performing with them since before that. My collection of Godin Guitars is ever growing. Godin Guitars was founded in 1972 by Robert Godin in Quebec, Canada. I absolutely love Godin Guitars; their quality is the best of the best. Godin Guitars operate several different factories in Canada making them the largest manufacturer of guitars in North America. In addition to the Godin line which make both electric and acoustic guitars, they produce 4 other acoustic lines: Seagull Guitars (my favorite), Norman Guitars, Simon & Patrick, and Art and Lutherie. Godin Guitars also aim to be as green as possible which is something I really believe in, respect, and admire greatly. To be an artist with Godin Guitars is absolutely one of the biggest honors I have and I am truly blessed to play their guitars and work with them (shout out to my rep, Fred! Love you, bro!). If you are a guitarist and you are looking for something that has exceptional build quality, handmade, and sounds, feels, and plays better than anything double to triple in price. Godin Guitars is where its at! Check them out!

I have been an artist for Spector Bass Guitars since 2015 and have played and performed with Spector Bass Guitars since I started performing as a bassist. Spector Bass Guitars was founded in 1976 by Stuart Spector and Alan Charney in Brooklyn, New York. Spector Bass Guitars are one of the most prominent and well-known bass companies in the world and utilized by some of the biggest and best artists in the game.

I call it the “Spector Growl.” Spector Bass Guitars have established themselves as the authority on modern bass design and to be affiliated with them is nothing short of an honor and privilege. If you are looking for a bass guitar that wont let you down and will be a lifelong workhorse and companion, check out Spector Bass Guitars!

Steve Clayton, Inc.
Brand Ambassador
I have been an endorsed artist with Clayton USA since 2019. Steve Clayton, Inc. was started in 1966 in Talent, Oregon. They shifted a heavy focus to guitar picks in 1979. Steve Clayton, Inc has always been at the forefront of material innovation, including the two groundbreaking plastics to the guitar world “Acetal” and “Ultem.” Acetal is a virtually indestructible plastic developed by DoPont, Acetal picks resist notching during play, so they provide exceptional durability. Ultem was developed in the 1980s, their tone is crisp, bright, and clear. I use custom guitar picks made from BOTH materials and couldn’t be happier with the results for my tone for both acoustic and electric guitars! Check them out!

Amplifier – Kustom Coupe 72
This amp was designed by James Brown who designed Eddie Van Halen’s 5150 and 5150 II. After James Brown left Peavey, he went to Kustom for a time and designed the Kustom Coupe 72 which has been my go-to amplifier for many years. It is one of the greatest amplifiers I have ever played out of and is a workhorse. I wish they still made this amplifier.
