I attended MIT (Musicians Institute of Technology) in 1985 and continued my education with Derol Ceraco and the infamous Ted Greene.
I have performed at weddings, church events, clubs, high schools, house parties and restaurants as well as doing various studio session work. More recently, I led a Contemporary Christian Band two weeks out of every month, for over 5 years, at a church located in Winnetka, California.
In 2009, I met the very talented Yuko Tamura (Gladys Knight / Googoosh), who in turn introduced me to Trent Stroh (Eddie Money) and Danny Pacillo Jr. We played together at a Christian church on a few occasions, and since that time, we have written, produced and recorded original material together at my home studio.
I am available for session work, worship leading and most musical venues. I am not style specific but generally like a good groove.

I have been playing guitar and writing music since the age of 7. I write a combination of Contemporary Christian, Pop and Instrumental Electronica. I have led Contermpoary Christian Bands both as a vocalist and guitar player as well as writing original compositions for this genre. Over the years, I have played alongside the likes of Daryl Caraco (guitarist), Trent Stroh (bass) from Eddie Money fame, Danny Pucillo Jr. (drums) and Yuko Tamura (pianio) from Gladys Knight to name a few. I have done many studio dates, top 40 gigs and have played and sang in many clubs throughout the greater Los Angeles area. I have a home recording studio where I am currently working on an all original 12 song CD that I hope to have completed by the summer of 2011.
