One of his primary guitars is a rare Fender Starcaster, an alternate spin on Gibson's semi-hollow ES-335 introduced in the '70s but retired by the '80s due to its general unpopularity.

Began playing the guitar at age 15.
Personal Quotes
"Being from Iowa, I can tell you that Vegas is not normal. It's cold on Mercury, but if you would be from Mercury you would find that normal." (comparing the climate in Las Vegas with that on Mercury)
I'm not a big fan of cold weather, that's why I moved to Vegas!
