ABOUT

Born and raised in West Virginia. Lived in Ohio for about 30 years, then migrated down to Fort Myers, Florida in July of 2022.

I've been playing professionally for 45+ years in bands, duos, and as a solo acoustic artist.
Extensive studio experience having played on over 150+ albums as well as having released four of my own with a companion book for the 4th album.
Also have extensive road experience having traveled to and played in most of the lower 48 as well as Canada.

In the early 90s I played keyboards in Brad Paisley’s band prior to his departure to Nashville…he and his father asked me to go with them and I politely turned them down! Ooops!! : >(

I currently teach piano/keyboards, guitar, and bass at Educator’s Music in Cape Coral, Florida.
Always open to other opportunities but they must be professional. No egos...no attitudes. Respect, consideration, and dedication always.
Can work as a solo, duo, or band .
