About Me


Bass player for the New York City based rock band CHARETTA - I'm a self taught musician who started playing bass at around the age of 11 years old with my first band BELIEVER. That group lasted throughout my teenage years and formed the backbone for much of my musical influence. After graduating high school, I got involved in sports, college, work........and didn't start playing music regularly again for quite a few years. Eventually I joined a group called HEADLOCK and started playing shows in Long Island. After a few years, that group disbanded and I continued to play bass sporadically in my free time while trying to balance a hectic work schedule in the corporate world. In early 2007, I became self employed and was able to start playing regularly with the band EVIL SHADOW - which really reignited the flame for me. Later on that year in October 2007, I hooked up with CHARETTA and was lucky enough to be invited to join them full-time as their bass player. Thats where I am today & I couldn't be happier.
