Growing up with a family of 8 kids, and 2 parents that have musical backgrounds, it was natural to adapt to all types of music. I first started singing at the age of 6, in Catholic School. I learned harmonies from my dad, who also sang for a barbershop quartet. When I turned 13, I was told that I was the singer and Harmonica player of a band, with my brother Dan, called Movin On.

I had no choice but join the band or get my ass kicked. When there were personnel changes, we decided to rename the band, RTM.

We have backed up many headlining bands including, Johnny Winter, Blackfoot, The Ramones Molly Hatchet and James Montgomery. We still play till this date. I also played in other bands, Guilty, Magnum and Tightrope. I also have been to various professional studios to help friends who needed vocal tracks, and I have a digital 8 track studio in my home.When approached to join Equinox, I found myself in a great position to get out and sing more, which has been a lot of fun. I enjoy raising money for people that are in need and won’t hesitate to play a gig for a good cause. My influences are Aerosmith, Alice Cooper, Allman Brothers Johnny and Edgar Winter and a lot of blues bands.
