About Me


I hold down the sound board, lights, all things technical, and all things BASS. Bass guitar is my true passion...been playing since '95. Trombone is in my background (1990-1998) and I have a decent hand percussion collection for rhythmic experimentation. Drum machines have been known to fall under my fingers as well. Maybe even a twiddle on yee olde guitar strings here or there. I moved back to Syracuse in 2005, after 7 years in North Jersey, and am looking to hook up with bands, bars, and other venues interested in having quality sound, lighting, and promotions host their live musical events. for more info, check out the promotional site I manage: www.SyracuseLiveMusic.com.

So I don't know where [Bin Laden] is. You know, I just don't spend that much time on him.
