About Me

Student of life. Recycled soul trying to figure out what is needed to know to move on to the next demension. I keep getting kicked back to this GOD forsaken planet. So, while I'm here, I might as well live, love, learn everything & anything I can. I'll try anything once (within reason) and have had many adventures and done many things in my life. From airport security to military service to hazardous waste management to drilling to construction to concert production and so much more. Someday I'll figure out what I want to be when I grow up.Whatever I do or wherever I go, though, I keep coming back to music. It has been and always will be the constant in my life. I have worked in concert production for 18+ years now. I have been writing, playing (mainly guitar) & singing in bands for 20 years. In 1995 (while serving in 10th Mountain Division - U.S Army) I placed 1st in the Performance Vocalist category in a nation/military-wide contest sponsored by FORSCOM and was offered a place in The Army Show Band. I even used to sing the National Anthem @ professional baseball games and other events in uniform as a representative of the Army. This past year, I ended a 4 year run with a band called Mini Motor Punch. We recorded a debut CD that saw good reviews locally and airplay on a couple major Rock stations in the Buffalo-Niagara Region. In the past 3 to 4 years MMP were priviledged to open for the likes of Peter Frampton, King's X, Dickey Betts & Great Southern,The English Beat, Kim Mitchell, Lou Gramm, Willy Nile, The Samples, BR-549, Gomez, Smile Empty Soul & many others.But now, the past couple of years I've been busy stage managing & guitar teching on the road. Most recently I have been working with the band Trapt, but have also worked with Ian Gillan's solo band, Deftones, Juke Kartel (from Australia), The Silver Beats (Tokyo), as well as stints with Dilana & Magni and The Cowboy Junkies.At home, I am Singing & playin guitar in a new band - The Sparehead Remedy. A riff & hook, punk, bluesy, hard rock power trio with lyrics & music that stand for something and also gives you a lil' or big kick in the ass.

My Blog

For some of you who may care - I’ve finally done it.

I know that with the blog title, if I'd been speaking aloud, I left myself wide open for for a million one-liners. But, I just wanted to let you all know that it's been fun for the past 3 years and I'...
