About Me

I'm a songwriter/musician from Metuchen, New Jersey, now living in the UK. I've been playing the guitar for 30 years and played lead guitar and sang backup vocals for NJ bands Country Sass and Southern Reign, and I occasionally filled in with other bands as well. I've played in clubs, bars, truck stops, festivals, casinos, and also appeared on local NJ TV shows like The Uncle Floyd Show and Sudzin Country. I don't perform anymore, but you never know, I'd do it again if the right opportunity came up -- you know, like if Clapton invites me for a jam. ;-) But until that happens, I'm concentrating on my songwriting and enjoying every minute of it!
