About Me

I've been doing this (music) professionally since 1996. I wanted to be an astronaut but I was afraid of heights. I thought about being a fireman but the color red doesn't work for me. Then I thought, maybe I could be a Salesman. Yeah Right. So, I "settled" for music. It's probably the best decision I made in my entire life. I absolutely love what I do. Besides being a performing musician, I do session work and teach at two locations in the Chicagoland area. My current projects are The Pirates over 40, Susie Dobbs, Brian Daniels and the Barrel Boys, and the Billy Childers Band. Past projects include Lost Canyon, The West Side Winders, The Kimi Hayes Band, The Dan Peters Band, and Flim Flam and the Chicago Jam. My thanks and warm wishes go out to all those I have had the privledge of sharing the stage with.
