About Me

Versatile keyboardist outta Central NJ, known to sing, play accordion, bass, guitar, whatever is in an arm's reach. I have written articles for Keyboard and School of Rock magazines, programmed synths for Bernie Worrell and Tom Brislin (Debbie Harry and Marion Raven tours). I do this for a living and have worked with many fine musicians, among them Noel Redding, Anthony Krizan, Glenn Alexander, The Smithereens, Bernard Purdie, etc. So please take a listen, enjoy, and support live music played by real live musicians.
