- Occupation:
- Retired from AT&T

- G&L Fallout Bass, Rickenbacker 4003, Rickenbacker Walnut 4003, Warwick Starbass & Streamer, Orange Tiny Terror head, Orange SP212 Cab, Phil Jones PB100, Carvin micro 15 cab, Behringer 350 watt head, a bunch of guitars that I've been given because people don't know the difference....and probably some other stuff.
- Favorite Genres:
- Zydeco, Bakersfield, Classic & Hippie Country, Motown, 60's, Cuban, Twang, TexMex and anything the audience enjoys
- Gigs and Ensembles:

- Previously Owned Gear:

- G.A.S. List:
- I usually buy a bass or an amp every year for tax depreciation. I'll be playing a couple more years so I'm really trying to get rid of a lot of things I've gathered over the years.
- Influences and Teachers:
- Joey Spampinato, Felix Pappalardi, Duck Dunn, John McVie, Larry Taylor and a bunch of local guys
- Hobbies and Interests:
- Fortunate to have a wife, kids & grand kids to keep me busy. Since I've retired, I've been able to spend a lot more time saying 'yes' to music opportunities. I also enjoy driving my convertible. I volunteer at a local soup kitchen, humane society and am also an election judge.
It's a little bit of fun, a little bit of money. I've been playing 45+ years and am very fortunate be able to continue to take gigs. I owe a lot to everyone who's ever hired me because I've learned something new in every band I've ever been in. I tell myself that I could walk away from it tomorrow, but that's just what I tell myself.... haven't known too many guys able to do it.Interact
