ABOUT

Grew up in NY and started playing guitar at an early age. Played in a band in 8th grade and on and off through college. Couldn’t earn a living as a musician so I joined the oil business. Retired after 40 years & 48 countries! I’ve been playing the last 2 1/2 years as a solo singer songwriter.

Influences

Most 60’s /70’s bands. Loved the new wave era in NYC. Studied Jazz in college. Like Latin. I’m a free form lead guitarist; meaning I never play the same solo twice. I’ve never been able to copy anyone else. (A blessing or a curse ?!!) One thing for sure, there is no one that plays like me!
