About Me

I was born and raised and still live in Philadelphia (Home of the 2007 National League East Champion Phillies). I play bass in Silvertide. We have an album that was released in 2004 on J Records/RCA called "Show & Tell". We toured for 2 and half years straight only breaking for Christmas and New Years. I've been all over the US about 10 times. Been to Japan twice. England twice. Canada a bunch of times. Spain and Cabo San Lucas, Mexico (Thank you Sammy Hagar). We've played shows and/or toured with Shinedown, Van Halen, Velvet Revolver, Motley Crew, 3 Doors Down, Breaking Benjamin, Alter Bridge, Godsmack, Crossfade, Tantric, Seether, Chevelle, Kid Rock, Alice Cooper, Aerosmith, The Exies, Sum 41, Grand Funk Railroad, The Darkness, Dark New Day, Sammy Hagar and the Waboritas, The Hives, Good Charlotte, The Killers, Franz Ferdinand, Rusted Root, Adema, Mondo Generator, Styx, Future Leaders of the World, David Lee Roth, Brides of Destruction, Submersed, Oliver Black, Pepper's Ghost, No Address, and others that can't seem to remember right now. We recorded a new album at the end of 2006 with producer David Bendeth which release date is TBD. And I've also worked with other bands such as Paramore, Course of Nature, and Dive. Some favorite pasttimes of mine include roller skating, hop-scotch (followed by a glass of scotch), Pin the tail on the donkey, and pie eating contests.
