I was born and raised in Buffalo, New York, USA. Music has always been a part of my life and will always continue to be. My lifetime dream was to write lyrics and music, and that came true for me some years back. I couldn't have done it without the help of my band mates at the time, known as "Basically It". What a talented bunch that I will be forever grateful to (butch, Kevin, Nathan and Jen). I continue to play solo and write, and look forward to another CD someday soon. I grew up in the greatest era of music ever. So many influences throughout the years. Loved the Beatles, Mellencamp, Crowded House, Tragically Hip, Loggins and Messina, REM and McCartney just to name a few. The list could go on forever. They gave me the desire to want to play. There is no end to the road music can take you down. It can be new and exciting and expand your imagination like nothing else in your life. Hope you enjoy some of my stuff...
