I have been a musician for 30+ years and performing professionally 20+ of those years. I started playing percussion in 1970, playing in marching, jazz, symphonic and orchestra during junior and senior high school. My first professional gig was at the age of 15. I moved to South Florida in the mid seventies, and worked exclusively in Florida and the Caribbean, playing drums in wedding bands, dance bands, rock bands and DJ'd wedding's and club's until 1997.
I started playing guitar in 1981. Teaching myself to play and read music. My Mother made me study the classics at an early age which gave me a great appreciation for Classical music.
I've had the opportunity to meet many fine and world class musicians on my road journeys. It's been a real thrill to meet some of my favorite Musicians!
I hope you enjoy your visit!
