About Me

I'm the Managing Editor of Bass Player magazine. I love playing bass, both upright and bass guitar. I also play guitar (mostly acoustic these days --- a sign of "maturing?") and ukulele. When I'm not herding editors, I spend way too much time reading up on auto repair and restoration and tinkering with cars. I also play bass for the Eva Jay Fortune Band. Come and see us sometime. And be rocked.
