BIO

It's a long story and to be quite honest, not very interesting, but here's a little taste anyway.

I had a pretty normal, uneventful childhood. My love of vocal harmonies and pop sensibility stems

from my upbringing in suburban Southern California and heavy doses of The Beach Boys and The Eagles.

At 19, I started playing drums and joined a classic rock cover band a few years later. I've played in

various cover bands and original bands over the years gaining stage and recording experience along the way.

I've performed at legendary venues like The Paladium in L.A., The Hard Rock Cafe in Newport Beach and

The Khyber and World Cafe Live in Philly and have opened for The Motels, John Waite, The Dickies and Robert Hazard.

I'm currently establishing myself in the local suburban Philadelphia music scene.
