Born In New York City, under the sign Capricorn.
In the late 1960s I moved to L.A. where I opened the recording studio Crystal Sound Studios with Andrew Berliner. We recorded, among others, projects for James Taylor, WAR, and Carole King.

From 1981 thru 1983, I freelanced as an engineer and producer.
From 1983 thru From 1974 thru 1981, I lived in New Orleans where I worked for Pete Fountain at the Worlds Fair, and commuted back and forth to Los Angeles for studio engineering work.
