NATIONALITY
I hold Dutch & American nationalities, but I’m of Polish and Dutch descent.
MUSICAL HISTORY I started playing guitar when I was 12 years old. At the time, I was on vacation with my parents. My mom playsclassical guitar and had a guitar with her, and I started noodling around and learning chords while we were away. We were gone for a full month, and I played for a couple hours a day. By the time I got back, I was itching to get my hands on an electric guitar. We picked up a used Strat copy the day after I got back, and I haven’t put the guitar down since then.

I got my B.C. Rich Bich about a year and a half after. It was my primary instrument for a long time, until I got my Mockingbird in May 2010.
