born in philly. dad plays guitar, uncle plays drums. parents move to nj, leave musical instrumets around house. start playing drums, organ, and don't ask why but sax all before 3rd grade. (still crushin on mrs.farlow, 3rd grade teacher) So...lets see...right, do the whole school band thing. but I sware, ours was the kool thing to do like chasing robbie into the woods after school, leaving him running for his life. (damn mean kids) highschool..., jazz band, state championships (yes that exsist!) blah blah.. college..BA in jazz performance at the university of the arts in philly. dope school by the way. so now i'm doing the whole wedding band/cover band thing. OK..LISTEN. IT WASN'T MY FAULT. yes you make $. yes all my friends were doin it. yes it will suck the very most inner soul components out of your being. does that make sense? well, it does to me. so much i consider quitting music and move to nyc for 6 months for acting/modeling which takes me to LA. so its there in la where i run into my 1st love....my drums. lets fastforward....after tours through the us/can, japan, london wiith artists like Rachael Yamagata, Sophie B Hawkins, The Honorary Title, Trevor Hall, Martin Sexton, appearances on jay leno, working w/amazing musicians, and gaining endorsements. its only now and not a min to soon that i've moved myself back to my home which is south jersey/philly. what can i say? home is where the heart wants to be and mine has always been tuggin at me to get there.
