I have loved music and really just sound my entire life. Started playing a trumpet before kindergarten. Went through the school music till college. Was a composition maj at Crane Conservatory in Potsdam NY. Played all over Memphis as a teen and young adult. Moved to LA ended up winning a Critiques Choice Award for original score, for a live theatrical performance of Frank Gilroy’s Pulitzer Prize-winning play, The Subject Was Roses. Directed by award winning Director/Producer Myrl A. Schreibman. I went on to perform all around LA with writing partner Steve Sharkey. After becoming Music Director of a small Church we formed the Christian Pop Rock group, S.O.G Sons of God Galatians 3:26. Steve and I went on writing and performing until I moved to Atlanta. During that time we had written almost 100 songs. My home got robbed and I ended losing all of the studio masters and most of our recordings. The album Oh Holy Spirit is all that remains, now that Steve passed. Now I continue on my own.
