MY STORY

A Southern California Kid, I moved back and forth to Chicago as a youngster from Grand Terrace California. My Dad had a 3 Kids before starting College and we lived with my Moms mom in Southern Cal while he worked a couple of jobs and finished up at UCR in Riverside.

​

We permanently (or for me) Moved to southern Ohio in 1967.. As the "new Kid" a few times, I turned to the Guitar at 14 to help through adolescence and got lucky to be a "roadie " for a local bar band that ended up with an album on Mercury records. My 1963 Fender Mustang came from them, and I wrote my first song in their house.

1970's Eagles, Linda Ronstadt, Zeppelin, Petty and CSNY created at addiction I could never kick or want to .

​

There was always music in our house, my Mom was a church organist and piano teacher, my grandmother had loads of records in our California time from Peter Paul and Mary, to Gilbert & Sullivan, to Herb Alpert. I saw the Beatles on Ed Sullivan on her small black and white TV and started forming imaginary bands with my siblings from age 6 on.   

Time passes and I meet my wife and love of my life  at Kent and get to play at the bars there during college,  and then turned right, got married , had a family, raised 2 great kids, and worked globally in business for 30 Years now, now its time to put music and stories on the front burner from my experiences.
