Being part of an exciting fun band whose members share the same commitment and good vibes. Looking forward to getting Going to a Go Go to the next level. I'm driven to be part of a high-energy, fun band with members who are just as committed and positive as I am.
Music is the light I strive to spread, and for more than 15 years, I've had the privilege of teaching guitar to Veterans at VA clinics across New Jersey and Florida. Giving back also means offering free lessons to guitarists looking to advance their skills. My lifelong connection with music has been incredibly powerful, helping me navigate even the challenges of a rare cancer and chemotherapy, never missing a gig – the show truly must go on.
My involvement in the music scene has been extensive, ranging from behind the scenes as a road manager for various artists and on the air as a New York disc jockey, to performing live for many years with numerous bands in New Jersey and New York.
