About Me

I began playing music at the age of eight, where most people start...middle school band. The saxophone was the first instrument and became an absolute necessity even though the challenges of life crept in. Bass became an instant opportunity at the beginning of high school while playing sax in the jazz band. My family has a musical lineage going back to the early 1900's and music became an instant passion. I played all over the Chicagoland area with various bands ranging in style from polka to metal. I have played on a handful of Christian records and have done dates with Paul Alan and Tree 63. I have spent the last 15 years playing church worship teams and throwing it down for youth conferences and conventions. Currently I am doing session work all over the place for different projects....Prog rock is in my blood and I am working on a Native American CD as well as some cool modern pop/rock songsI am looking for musicians who are passionate about playing and even more passionate about being part of peoples' lives and the things they walk through..In business circles, it is called being a 'change agent'....in real words, that means standing up for something and taking it to everyone...
