About Me


I've been in love with music my whole life. Started out sitting in front of my parents record collection completely fascinated with what I was hearing and the cover art. I played violin in sixth grade, piano a few years later, guitar at 15 and settled on bass at 16.

I cut my teeth in local LA bands over the next six years while studying music and made my way east to Boston to get my BA from the Berklee College of Music. I play electric and upright and over the years have played and recorded anything from rock, funk, motown, classical, punk, metal and country.

I came back to LA in 2001 and since have played, toured and recorded with artists including Scott Weiland, Cinder, Bourbon Cowboys, Fat Love, Sareet, Stereo 360, and King Straggler.

You can hear me on three tracks on Scott Weiland's 2008 solo record "Happy in Galoshes"...Big Black Monster, She Sold Her System and Crash.
