It all started out when I was around 9 yrs. old when i pulled out my dad's old vinyl. In no time I bought my first guitar and started hanging out in the Central New Jersey punk scene. I taught myself how to play experimenting with different styles, but I was always drawn to Blues, Jazz, Metal, and Classical.

      I picked up a bass when I was about 15 yrs. old.  It just felt good to play with my fingers instead of a pick and I realized how much fun I could have with this. I started to pick things up from some local musicians at the time.  Fortunately for me I was growing up at a time in New Jersey when everything was happening, Asbury Park, Long Branch, Red Bank was full of talent and not letting up.

      I was 16 yrs. old when I joined my first “real” band, Black Dragon. We did a bunch of Metal covers with some originals. A year later, a friend of mine said he knew some guys in Red Bank that were looking for a Bassist. He brought me over to an abandoned school in Sea Bright and introduced me to Shaune, Scott, and Brandon. We jammed for about 3 weeks together and then released the first Ripping Corpse demo, Death Warmed Over. After 3 more demos, we released Dreaming With The Dead. We stayed together for about 5-6 yrs.

     After leaving Ripping Corpse, I started a band called Cursed with some old friends. We released 1 demo called Broken Rope and played the east coast club circuit for about 2 years before splitting up.

      I moved around a bit trying to find my niche and found myself in California hanging out in the San Diego underground scene. I jammed with one of the heaviest bands in San Diego called Blindheim.  Later, I did studio work for an L.A. band, Revelation Inc... I made some of my best friends at this time and re-connected with others.

     Eventually, I went back over to the East Coast and hooked up with guitarist Dave Linsk and I've been the Bassist for Speed\Kill/Hate since 2006. I still do studio work and give lessons at SKH Studios. I'm Always open for new projects and a good jam, if my schedule lets me.
