My long career and passion for music has given me an unique understanding of teaching. I have been called a savant and my musical life started young playing violin at age 6, drums at 7, picked up the guitar at 8 and piano at 10. I cut my Freshman year in High School to play Frank Zappa's music with 30 year old's and already had my first serious band and was performing regularly in clubs with “Meridian”, a 6-piece jazz fusion band Featuring Frankie Valli’s daughter, Francine on Vocals. I then went on to land the 1986 “Electra Records Undiscovered Artist of the Year Award, by Composing, arranging and performing all instruments on entry, “Sparks”. After that Columbia Records recording artists, The Burns Sisters Band, picked me up as their lead guitarist. During my term, The Burns Sisters Band, had 2 hits. “Listen to the Beat of a Heart” charted #11 nationwide on adult contemporary radio and “I Wonder Who’s Out Tonight” top ten hit on many radio stations across the country. I opened shows for bands like; Huey Lewis & The News, Govt. Mule, Stray Cats, Orleans, John Cafferty, Billy Squire and the Psychedelic Furs among others. I then went on to Composing, music for movies such as, MGM film “Crooked Hearts” and John Candy’s film “Delirious”. Now this recent CD release, "Solo Journey" has just recently been released.
