This page is sort of an autobiography of me and a tribute to those who have walked along this bitter sweet road of musical success and failures with me. Although, becoming a mega rockstar is one in a million, it is still a destination. And a destination most musicians keep forging ahead to. It is a goal most of us have strived for and will continue to strive for. Its not impossible by any means, but in my mind, improbable. I always dreamed of being a rockstar, always wanted to "live the life", and always wanted my "9 to 5 office" to be my drumset on a stage in a big arena every night. That would have been me doing what I love to do everyday...playing drums, making music, and being different. Thats what I said I wanted to be when I grew up and I meant it. I wanted the lights, the sound, the noise of a hundred thousand sceaming fans, I wanted to see waving lighters as far as I could see while we played "that third love song". So I gave it a run...and it was a good one..."I do not feel bitter or harbor regrets"...I am content to where I have been in the music biz...I always have a story to tell. I always have a picture to show. And I always have a tape to play. It's been fun, fustrating, triumphing, and most of all...rewarding. Walk my shoes...trust me...their not full of shit. But with all that being said...Who am I?...I am the man in the box...3 walls are stable...the fourth I must work to keep up...but such is life...I love my sunshine, and my passion...which is music...I'm a drummer, a studio musician, a drum instructor, a certified recording engineer (A.R.T.I Recording School, Queens NY 1988), a producer, and a past music scene writer for SOAP (Society Of Associated Performers)."It's been good, Real good...."

Music has been very good to me...Met alot of great musicians, (SPRINGSTEEN and his entire band...as a matter of fact, I grew up across the street from Gary Tallent and used to hear them rehearse back in the early days.
