About Me

“My interesting story", this will be a work in progress, so let's start in 2000 when I moved to L.A. (again). Over these last seven years I've worked for or played music with an array of different people; I tour w/Tiffany, Cyndi Lauper, John Legend, Fergie ,Survivor and work for David Foster as well. Cyndi taught me how to play dulcimer so you may see me playing it at some point on Venice beach. Cyndi also told me I should do more w/my life and I think that was it. She also taught me how to spice up popcorn w/ hot sauce. What I have learned from David Foster is that there is no ceiling on where you can take your career, just keep going, if you've got the balls. I've had some odd jobs too; I stage managed Sandra Bullocks wedding she and Jesses are both very cool people, but the bag pipers were out of control. When times are tough in L.A. you can always be a audience member. You haven't lived until you've sat in the audience at the Dennis Miller show for $15 asking yourself "now what the fuck am I going to do with the rest of my life". I've am fortunate to have played w/a lot of cool rock guys from Gilby Clarke to Billy Sheehan and Eric Singer; very cool, right? Also, Donnie Vie who's one of my favorite singer-songwriters that I hope to work with this year (I've only been saying that for 5 years now). I really couldn't have predicted any of this ,no way, and there's no way to predict the next 7 seven years. If you now someone that can predict the future, have them call me. Oh, I almost forgot to mention, I play keyboards, guitar, dulcimer and can run pro-tools, logic, play samples, all that cool stuff and I can write a pretty good song when I feel like it. I'm always looking for playing work and tech work, mostly I tech keyboards or guitar. Is this enough for now? Thanks for reading, Terry
