Bio: I started playing guitar at about 10 or 11 but I didn't become more serious until early teens when I started taking private lessons. I had many teachers in different genres, ranging from rock to jazz to classical. After years of private lessons I went on to study the guitar and musical theory at A.I.G. in Manhattan (NY). After that I had played in various local bands until meeting Yuri and Slava through a mutal friend in 2002. My goal as a guitarist is to play extremely fast technical solos. I have always been a fan of fast solos and I want to take that to the next level with my playing. Influences: Yngwie Malmsteen, George Lynch, MacAlpine, Michael Angelo, Luca Turilli and Chris Impellitteri. Favorite Bands: Stratovarius, Rhapsody, Children of Bodom, Helloween, Blind Guardian, Gamma Ray and others.
