I was born in Cleveland and grew up in Florida. I studied the accordion at the age of seven. My brother was a drummer, so I had a full drum set to bang on and learn beats from Motown 45s. I played the baritone horn in grade school and picked up the guitar on my own.

From Sarasota, Florida and New York City to Virginia's Shenandoah Valley and the Black Hills of South Dakota, and now in Colorado, I have been performing blues, rock, and country music both in bands and on my own for many years. I perform a solo show that can go in two different directions.

My electric show consists of me singing and playing guitar along with blues-type background music tracks which I have performed and recorded myself, after having taught digital audio classes at Black Hills State University in Spearfish, SD for 18 years.

There is no pre-recorded background music in my acoustic show. I just sing and play my acoustic guitar, performing original and classic rock songs along with a vocal harmony processor, which allows me to do songs by groups known for their harmony singing, such as the Eagles, Beach Boys, Beatles, Hollies, and many others.
