I was born in Bronx, NY, and for the most part lived in NY/NJ through high school. Music has been a mainstay in my life since a very young age. At 15 I was in a band without a bass player, my guitar was an off-brand, the kid with the Les Paul had a bass in the closet... guess who played bass? Then... and for many years to follow.

I've been blessed with performance opportunities that have run the gambit, from pop/rock to jazz/blues. Self-taught and totally an 'ear' player 'till college in my early-mid 20's (AA Music Performance @ ECC in Ft. Myers, FL). I'm very fortunate to have played with some really fine musicians across the country, including stints in the US Navy Bands at Newport, RI and Charleston, SC. After all this time, I still love learning the finer points of music, and the awesome mystery of how we come together to make it. Pretty sure God loves a tight rhythm section =)

Some 6-years ago, I turned much of my musical focus to writing songs, I only wish I'd started MUCH sooner! Though I write in other genres, my hope is the songs I post on this page invite listeners to ponder the grace and greatness of God. ShoutLife is a wonderful community, thanks for the warm welcome... be blessed!
