My Story

Born and raised in Northeastern Pennsylvania into a deeply musical family, my journey with music began early. At just 10 years old, I joined my dad's country band, which eventually transformed into a family band. Starting with the snare drum, I gradually picked up the bass guitar, then ventured into lead and pedal steel guitar.

​

In 1988, at the age of 24, I made the bold move to Nashville. Immersing myself in the vibrant country music scene, I quickly found myself collaborating with some of the industry's biggest names. From sharing the stage with icons like Trace Adkins, Tom T. Hall, Kelly Pickler, Dierks Bentley, and Gretchen Wilson to spending countless hours in the studio, including running my own project studio, my time in Nashville was truly enriching. Some of the demo songs I contributed to eventually found their way to becoming hits for major artists.

​

After a fulfilling 25 years in Nashville, I embarked on a new chapter in Southern California. Captivated by the local music scene, I've embraced the opportunity to play with a diverse range of bands whenever possible. Additionally, I've had the privilege of lending my talents to some exceptional tracks by local artists and songwriters. My mission now is to bring that authentic Nashville Sound to those seeking it in Southern California.
