I was born in upstate New York in 1960. I started experimenting with song writing in grade school. I wrote and recorded my first song in a recording studio in 1976. In 1978 I moved to Texas and played bass in a country/rock band. In 1981 I recorded my first songs in Nashville with former Elvis drummer DJ Fontana. I moved to Nashville in 1983 and lived there for six years. I worked in Television as a producer and editor. I also hosted a cable show called "Writers Night" with Buc Williams. I moved back to upstate New York in 1989 for family reasons and continued to visit Nashville. I was in the process of getting a recording deal in 1991 when I was hit by tractor-trailer on the thruway. I was laid up for several years and underwent several back surgeries. Due to my injuries the recording contract fell through. Currently I own my own audio/video production company and am writing songs again. I have had placements on the soap opera The Young and the Restless, The Tucker Carlson Show, and several national radio shows and overseas placements. Four original songs have received millions of radio plays world wide.
