Originally from South Louisiana.
I started out beating on pots and pans at 4 years old, then moved up from there to drums, guitar, keyboard and bass. I was drawn to the bass.
Starting out playing right handed guitars and basses. I began playing bass in 1980 but upside down configuration. In 1990 I decided to learn to play a lefty bass correctly right side up. I was able to progress much quicker. I'm no where near the bass player but I can hold my own.
I was fortunate to travel the US touring with a well known artist. I was fortunate to meet and open up for top acts. I made great memories from deciding to learn the bass and pursuing my passion.


It's all good!
