Got my first guitar at 8 years old. there were a few lessons, but most of my early music education came from my record collection. Started my career as a teen musician in the '70's, jamming in the garage, playing parties, and rocking with my friends.
Played original rock music in Los Angeles and Hollywood in the early 80’s. Following that, in the late 80's, worked the dance places in Top-40 Classic Rock bands. By the 90's was working the local blues circuit in dive bars and festivals. Since then, played a variety of music- rock, blues, punk, country, jazz, and classical guitar. Balanced with holding down a day job.
Music... It's a journey
not a destination
My music education continues. In 2025 I completed the two-year Music Certification Program at Ventura College. Ensembles included Jazz Band, Concert Choir, and Chamber Music Classical Guitar Quartet. Continuing education included attendance at the Schwab Music Academy.
To Sum Up... “I just want to play my guitar”.
