I grew up in Cleveland Ohio, My parents encouraged me to play guitar.I took guitar lesson’s   for     year’s.

I loved to play song’s from the sixty’s. I was inspired by the Beatles, Neil Young, Cat Stevens, John Lennon, Bruce Springsteen. I started to write music seven years ago.

I was published my first year by NBT Records. Eventhough it was an instrumental song I wrote, it was a thrill to see my name on an album.

I like to tell a story when i write, and use real life experience’s in my music.

My wife of 25 years, Renee influenced my writng. I tell how we first met, our first look at each other, our first kiss. I write love song’s,ballad’s and rock and roll.

If your a song writer, write about whats in your heart, not just whats in your mind, and people will listen. I love to hear from other songwriter’s, as well as fan’s.

Send me an e-mail, I’ll write you back.

If you have any question’s about your writing, send it to me, i’ll get back to you.
