By 14 I was playing with the now infamous Coup d'etat ensemble (Mike Parker, Matt Adams, Jayme Coyle) and we were headlining all sorts of Central NY venues. Fast forward to Buttah, which equates to fine improvisational modern jazz/dance music, gigs all across the Northeast and a cool CD. Moving right along to NYC. I became emeshed in several groups that had a lot of promise but never really took off. I worked at a big guitar store that I will not name, performed on a national television show that I will not name, taught LOTS of guitar and bass lessons, got accepted to grad school and decided not to go, and recorded some more cool CDs. So now I live in Florida and I work with kids. Solo acoustic gigs and my new found love for performing in the theater occupy much of my free time (don't worry I can still ROCK). I have written more music in the last two years than I have ever in my life and I've found a form of serenity and peace that I would have never dreamed possible at previous points in my existence. Things are much more quiet these days (but not really) and I wouldn't have it any other way!!! I hope you enjoy these songs I have posted. Most were recorded alone in my apartment with the exception of "Unnerved" which was taped live at THE BITTER END in Manhattan's West Village in Feb. 2006. KEEP MAKING ROCK HAPPEN!!!!
