About Me

Wow,  you came this far? You must really want to know something about me.  I guess you are extremely bored.  Been surfing the net too long, huh?  Okay, I’ll bore you even more with my details.  Maybe you shouldn’t believe everything you read.  I might stretch the truth or tell out n out lies. This is the internet, you know. I won’t tell you where I was born, my social security number or date of birth, my mother’s maiden name, my father’s middle name or the name of my first pet.  Mainly because I don't remember those things.  I can’t give out any bank account numbers, addresses or phone numbers and I refuse to tell you what I ate for dinner last night.  Other than that… I was raised in a small coastal town in Connecticut where I started with music very early.  We had two pianos in the house and I never took lessons.  I did take up the clarinet in elementary school and somehow managed to stay with it.  I switched to bass clarinet in junior high school and played the bass drum for marching band in high school.  I took some harmony and music theory classes in high school and I recommend them to anyone interested in writing songs or playing in a band.  At some point in high school, I bought my first guitar and started lessons. Jump almost 30 years and here I am in Austin, TX, writing and recording my own songs. Along the way I lived in Florida, Hawaii, Illinois, back to Connecticut, Massachusetts, Texas, a brief stint in California, Virginia, back to Florida, back to Virginia and then back to Texas where I’m at now.  And before all that started, I was born in New Jersey.  Oops, I wasn’t suppose to tell you that, but I’m still not saying what I ate for dinner last night. I served in the US Navy for 6 years aboard the USS Albuquerque (SSN-706) fast attack submarine.  After I got out I started in the semiconductor industry and have been doing that trip for more than 24 years now.  Pretty sad, I know.  I have the most fun mixing sound for a talented band with a steady gig on 6th Street during the 90’s. I’ve got a beautiful wife with two wonderful kids and life is good.  Really good.
