About Me

I was born and raised in a suburb of Chicago. I moved out to Arizona in 1985 (the year the Bears won the superbowl).After moving out to AZ, I started playing the bass guitar. I was in an all female band called Whiskey Blu.In approximately 1992 Whiskey Blu headed to California for an alleged record deal....that didn't work out...so after just a long weekend in California, we came back to Arizona. Unfortunately it wasn't long after that, the band broke up.Marie, Nancy and I were in another band for a short time, Valkyrie. This was until one night in 1993 when our singer stole most of our equipment.In approximately 1996 I joined Marie and Wendy in another band - Sistrum. I really enjoyed playing in Sistrum and loved the music!These days I am married. I have three dogs (Gracie, Kylie and Baron). I enjoy travelling, riding ATV's in the sand dunes, playing music, going to see live music when I can and doing almost anything other than my job!My favorite band is Pearl Jam. I remember hearing "Alive" and "Even Flow" back when "Ten" came out. I loved the music from the start and have been a big fan ever since. I didn't actually see a live PJ show until 1998. It was a show in Phoenix in 2000 that really got me hooked! I have been to quite a few shows since including shows in Hawaii, Denver, San Diego and at the Gorge in Washington.About 6 months ago my old band Whiskey Blu did a reunion show with some of the other bands we played with back in the "big hair band" days. It was a lot of fun and great to see the girls after all this time! We played another show in December - Toy 4 Tots benefit, that was fun also! Theresa ("T") Witter has joined the band. She rocks! I played with her in Sistrum. She is a great song writer as well!We'll see what happens from here....thanks for stopping by....
