Born: February 7, 1955

I think most people live more than one life  (sometimes many lives) in a single lifetime.

For example, I was born into a family where trumpet was the "family instrument" and went on to a long running career as a pro trumpet player however, the developing artist/composer side of me had always chose guitar over the horn. 

The heart wants what the heart wants.

Early in my trumpet practice years (when I was 15) I would secretly steal time away from the horn on a guitar I borrowed from a friend, and though I progressed quickly on both instruments, the horn got me into "the biz" first, so I followed that path with guitar becoming the primary composing/songwriting tool.

When I retired the horn from the Biz in 2010, guitar and composition became the primary focus and the beginning of my second life in music.

The music displayed here will reflect my newest projects and endeavors
