He later started a band as a lead guitarist and vocalist with several friends in high school and also played in several other local bands. During his stint with the US Air Force, he took a break from music performance but continued learning and always had a guitar wherever he got stationed (Texas, Illinois, Delaware, Philippines, Hawaii and California).
