Musician residing in Philly ..... holding down the groove in a variety of projects .... interested in making the most of the world around me.
Have shared the stage with Talib Kweli, Bustah Rhymes, The Wailers, Arrested Developement, Jurassic 5, and The Roots .... among others. I'm currently holding down the bottom end for a top notch National tribute to the 90's Seattle scene called "No Alternative." The past year has found me performing with Laura Cheadle, Jolejnik, Fuzzy Bunny Slippers, The Likely, Go Go Gadjet, Nowhere Slow, 5%, Browntown and the newly renovated ReMIXDT ... and wherever the VW wants to roll.I myself have been playing professionally for 15 years, in a variety of situations over most of the East coast. I've been the house bassist at The Rec Room Studio, recording with a eclectic blend of artists. Among my faves are Jolejnik whose spiritually eclectic approach to music never ceases to excite those involved in the creative process.

I have studied in Philadelphia with Steve Beskrone, a master's class guru from the UofA. He has also toured with Pat Martino and did a stint with a cat named Ray Charles. I myself have begun teaching and any interested can contact me here for more info.
Life's great mystery is what we have ahead of us. Music, however, and the continued pursuit of that passionate, yet enraging, mistress is where you will find yours truly.
