As a child in a sing-a-long, play-a-long family, centered around my father, I grew up playing rhythm guitar. That was until I received the red album by Grand Funk. After hearing Mel Schacher I knew what I was meant to do. I got a Univox bass shaped like Paul McCartney's at a hock shop for my 13th birthday, I played through high school at dances, stage band, and garage bands. After high school I joined the US NAVY and kept very busy at sea, playing in steel rooms, on the streets, in clubs and parties with an endless supply of musicians that were on board.

After discharge from the service, I've played in many bands; always involved in some thing or another. I've got a wonderful family that loves to rock and supports my never ending need to thump on my Fenders to a crazy crowd.

I'm one of the original members of the fun loving, hard rocking Stir Crazy Family born about 8 years ago and still rockin'!
