Bio

I grew up playing Hendrix and then found Chick Corea's Return to Forever group. Then came Miles, John McLaughlin and an education at the University of Miami, Fl. both undergradute and an MBA in the Music Industry.

I have played with some notables including Rob Chiarelli-engineer/mix artist(Madonna, Will Smith MIB's, Ray Charles and many more) and Dag Kohlsrud of Norway's AHA, Graham Hawthorne-Blood Sweat & Tears and David Horvath a respected Christian pianist and formerly of the Lettermen in the 70's. Mark Johnson of the South Florida, Selah Christian group (not the old one) and former Ex. VP of Editing for CP Beldwin (now part of Warner Brothers) played on Talking Toys. He told me the story of how he met with Dave Brubek and then transcribed an anthology of Dave Brubek music for CP Beldwin.

I had the pleasure of doing a session with a great saxophonist, Paul Anderson who later went on to play with major big bands. Guitarist Noah Herschman has played on many hit records in New York. There were others who went on to becoming well known who helped me record my music in 1981 and 1982 at UM.

In 2002 John and I had a #1 hit on MP3.com. It was for the instrumental rock tune, But For Grace. We had many in the top 100.
