I grew up in Rochester, NY, and when I was almost 10 I started playing bass guitar so that I could be in my cool older neighbors band. I made an effort to be the best bass player I could be. Eventually, although it was many many years later, I actually joined a metal band (Seric) with my old neighbor. He needed a bass player. I joined and started playing shows, and eventually moved up to guitar and back up vocals. We toured a bit and then had a dramatic band "you banged my girlfriend" type of breakup. After that I joined a pop/punk band, that also broke up, but for different reasons.

After all those failures I decided to go solo. I went to Boston and recorded an album with a friend of mine at Time Bomb Studios. Then recorded an album with my brother Kevin in Long Island, NY at a studio called Killingsworth Studio. Now I'm in Cali trying to "live the dream," it's a tough life, but I love it.
