I am currently living in Rochester, NY where I was born. I was a bit of a gypsy growing up but settled in northern NJ growing up in Bloomfield, Belleville, and Montclair, NJ. There I had my first GREAT band, BLACKJACK. We were very popular but when Nirvana came along, it killed us and we broke up after that. I moved to Pittsburgh, PA where I attended university at Slippery Rock U. as a music therapy major. I studied voice and percussion. I had great experiences performing with the SRU singing groups and jazz combos. I was a member of a great unsigned band, RUNNING ON EMPTY. Our highlight was opening up for FOREIGNER on their 2002, 25th anniversary tour. WHAT A GREAT BAND WE WERE!!
I moved up to Rochester in 2003 and married Becky, whom I met in college. She is the greatest! We have the greatest, most cutest dog in the universe, named Spike. She is a Toy Poodle and the apple of our eyes. I am now an assistant kitchen manager/cook at a very popular resturant in Rochester while still working as a musician: I am performing with CHASING GIANTS, a very talented coverband. I was playing with NIK AND THE NICE GUYS, a very popular party band and used to sing with STRANGER-"An Evening of Foreigner". They were a great band that performs a whole evening of FOREIGNER and LOU GRAMM songs. I'm also trying to get up a gig as a singer for wedding ceremonies as well I just recently hooked up with this great dj company to do parties and such. (VERY BUSY!!! ;) )
I am very happy being married to a wonderful person and enjoying my career. I love being close to my family now!!Say HI if you want!!
PS- 8/31/06 Becky and I got a new dog to add to our family. His name is Peppy and he is a toy poodle too. He and Spike are getting to know each other and we are so happy to have him in our family!! PSS--9/28/07--my son, Justin was brought into the world! he is so wonderful and we are blessed to have him in our lives. what a great chapter in my life this is turning out to be.
