"Before his game, my son Tyler was tossing the ball around with teammates but he always hitting the ground or missing. Because I never played, I didn’t know how to help him so I was lost. Then, this nice man wearing a Weymouth Lacrosse fleece came up to me, introduced himself as Mike and asked if he could help my son. I said sure. Mike went over to Tyler and asked him to shoot the ball at the net. After 2 or 3 shots hitting the ground or missing, Mike grabbed his stick. After untying some strings he gave it back to Tyler. Tyler’s shots/passes were now on target. I asked Mike what he did, he said he “fixed the whip.” For the next 15 mins or so Mike was working on Tyler’s throwing catching & cradling. Tyler, who wanted to quit lacrosse because his stick “didn’t work” now gets excited for games. Spoiler, Mike was the opposing teams coach but that didn’t matter. He saw a player who needed help and he helped him. Thank Mike!

My journey with the guitar began at the tender age of 5 in the quaint town of New Ipswich, New Hampshire. From local bands to writing my own material, I explored genres ranging from Acoustic Americana to Heavy Metal throughout high school in Jaffrey. Venturing into recording with projects like "Liquid" and "Arriving," I fine-tuned my lead vocalist and acoustic guitarist skills at Sound Design Studios in Brattleboro, VT, alongside Justin Case. Having graced venues across the USA and collaborated with music giants, I'm putting the finishing touches on my 21st album, with plans for a new release soon. Now calling Boston, MA, home, my guitar journey unfolds in the heart of the city's vibrant music scene.
