About Me

I was born July 6th 1952 in San Francisco Calif. I started playing guitar in the 5th grade and started performing live when I was 13 . I am still very active in the San Francisco club scene. I am married and have an 8 year old son. I have worked as a musician all my life. I currently work with The Delta Wires. The Delta Wires is a 7 piece Blues band with 3 horns.Its a lot of fun. Go to our Delta Wires myspacemusic page and go to www.deltawires.com for our website and our calendar of gigs. We work all over the San Francisco area. I love working live in front of a crowd! I play Jazz /Blues /country/Rock/latin and what ever else I need to stay working. I teach at Gelb Music in Redwood City and at St. Matthew Catholic School in San Mateo.
