I was born in Rome, New York, blessed with a family that inspired a love of music in me from my earliest days.  I have warm memories of riding in the car with my father, and singing our harmony parts.  My father also sang in the church choir and in barbershop groups.

I was 14 years old when I joined my first band. We played some local gigs, and actually evolved into a fairly popular local band.   

I also loved to draw, which eventually led me to attend the Rochester Institute of Technology, majoring in advertising design and illustration.  After RIT I joined the Air Force, and was trained in electronics.  I returned to Rochester and worked locally in manufacturing, and playing in bands on the side.  The band became my life, and I moved to Colorado, where I spent years as a musician with various bands, and as a solo artist.  I moved to Central Florida in 1983, and again worked as a musician, artist, songwriter, and manufacturing engineer for local electronic manufacturing companies.

Over the years, I have performed on cruise ships for Costa and Dolphin Cruise Lines, and touring the road circuit on buses and vans in almost every state in the USA.  I have played in Canada, Norway and throughout the Caribbean. My CD “Currents of the Wind” is a collection of my original music. 

Since being off the road, I have found time to return to my love of creating artwork, mostly painting in acrylics; but I also enjoy oils, watercolors, pen and ink, pencil sketching, photography, web design, and graphic art. 

I was honored to be elected president of the Sanford Seminole Art Association for the 2013–2014, and the 2014–2015 terms.

Some of my paintings, drawings, and my CD of original music are displayed on this web site.
