I have 30+ years of experience on Stage and in Recording Studios, where I've played in NYC, NJ, Fla, Indiana in various Cover and Original bands.. The last 3 years i was living in and playing throughout Vegas, AZ and Utah as a Bassist / Musical Director with a Journey Tribute Show I worked with. When off the road, I was a gigging and MDing for various show bands on and off the strip in Vegas.
Gigs & Shows over the years consisted of crowds from thousands to small intimate clubs. Conventions, Trade shows and Casinos.
I’m now in Fort Wayne Indiana and have a Steely Dan Tribute .
Over the years, I've Recorded on various artists CD's at the Record Plant NYC, RCA NYC, Showplace NJ, City Lights NJ and a few others.
I’ve worked in a most genres of music throughout my career, so I’m pretty adaptable to the music at hand.
Over the years I've jammed with members form the Doobie Brothers, 38 Special and on one special occasion had been on a promotional jingle with Aretha Franklin, I played on the Jersey Shore for many years, I've sat in on a few gigs with Mr. Bernard Purdie as well as hanging behind a mixing console with Jack Douglas / Aerosmith's producer. And Franke Previte composer for Dirty Dancing and Franke & The Knockouts.
I've been around music since an early age with the influence of my brother who had been manager of the Doobie Brothers throughout the 1970's.
