I was born and raised in Southern Connecticut, and spent much of my youth swimming, fishing, and boating on Long Island Sound. Along with the many hobbies I've had, I learned to play the piano at age 14, and two years later a guitar."I remember during my piano lessons, in between songs, I would start to play something I wanted to play. My teacher would say, "Oh you're just fooling around." But in realty, I believe I was starting to write music and didn't even know it."
While I was growing up, my Mom would play Pop music on the radio, and my Dad would play some of his big Band albums on the record player. So my music is influenced by Classical, Pop, Rock and Roll, Big Band, and Country Music.
Brian Adams, Journey, John Denver, Crystal Gayle, Boston, Bread, Don Mclean, Kansas, America, The Eagles, Roger Whittaker, Gordon Lightfoot, George Strait, Vince Gill, Randy Travis, are some of the bands and artists that I've been influenced by, plus many more.
After writing and recording some songs , with the support of my wife and some friends of mine, I am releasing the music I've written in the last ten years.
