Gear: No need, he’s a singer. Personal Bio: He wanted to be a guitar/bass player. “We could never find a singer that could sing better than I could so I always ended up doing it”. “After being asked to sing on other peoples recording projects I realized that I was a singer not a guitar/bass player”. “After I dropped the guitar/bass things started to take off for me. I got a call from Alex Masi in LA, he heard a recording of me and asked me to come out and audition for his band. Things didn’t work out for me in LA, but I became one of the best singers traveling the circuit in the north, Midwest, and south playing in the best clubs, my personal favorite being “The Button South” in Miami”. I am now married living with my wife Shana in and her son in springville Indiana. I have a 19 year old daughter and a 21 year old step daughter and two other boys 13 and 14. I also have a grandaughter.
