I was born and raised in Philadelphia. Music with me began at the age of 11 in the Philadelphia Boys Choir, as a Second Soprano. When puberty hit, that gig was over real quick as I went from second soprano into a tenor real quick. I also played Trombone in elementary school and high school. As far my interest in Bass goes, it started when I heard McCartney's brief Bass solo on Every Bodies Got Something to Hide Except for Me and Monkey. Although very brief, I never heard anything like that before. From that moment on I pursued the Bass.

I came to the St Louis area courtesy of the Air Force in 2004. I retired in 2007 and made the Metro-East region my home.
