SEEKING

ABOUT

Professionally speaking I started in the late 70s with the fall out of Disco and the up rise of big hair bands in the early 80s.....I have played in all but 6 states in the U.S. so yes you can say I have road experience. I studied music in High School and College not necessarily by choice, but by pure luck of the cards that's all I could really do and get passing grades LOL . From that point I have played in numerous bands all the way from house gigs to road gigs to the Holiday Inn circuit and back. I have had the privilege over my career to have played with some truly outstanding talents in every situation I have played in and even yet to this day I am amazed at the great opportunities and talents that I have been fortunate enough to be surrounded by. I have played with unknown artist as well as known artist and once I put all that together I realize its the journey that music offers that makes those of us dedicated to the art to keep moving forward.
