About Me

Thanks for stopping by!My TV pilot has taken an awesome twist and is currently being taken-up a notch in a BIG way! I will have some exciting news for ya's soon!A bit about me: Had been a world touring musician for 26 years-first started playing guitar in Social Unrest in 1981 and then played guitar starting in 1988 for 13 years in Samiam on Atlantic Records/EMI Publishing and later on Tommy Boy Records, traveled the world extensively with: Green Day, Creed, Black Crowes, Offspring, No Doubt, 311, Blink 182 (that band is lame, I know), Toadies, Bad Religion, etc., etc. Did a few videos... Live TV... 27 countries-some-up-to 14 times each! N. America maybe 30 times... Japan 2 times (once with Green Day).Recently, was performing a few reunion shows with Social Unrest just for fun. I stopped playing with the band and am concentrating on some important projects.Currently managing 1 AMAZING band (check out DOWNSTAGE! www. myspace.com/downstage. They have a new cd they are completing as we speak and rivals anything great out currently - with all sincerity.I wrote and self-published a book about my world-wide travels with my ex- band Samiam/S.U. called, "Tour Stories and Other 3rd Grade Tales".I was GM/Director of A&R for a start-up entertainment company called Cliffside Records with Sony Distributon. Also, I consulted as Director of A&R/partner for a rock label headed by famed producer Sylvia Massy-Shivy (Tool, Chili Peppers, Sevendust, Deftones, System of a Down, Powerman 5000, Johnny Cash, etc.) with Universal/Fontana Distribution called National Recorder (www.nationalrecorder.com).Will be working with the Goo Goo Dolls on some songs for a side project in end of fall, hopefully...Hit me up, Chuck!
