I was born a long time ago in Newark, New Jersey. Musically, I was instructed and inspired by Bill Hayes and Bobby Thompson as a member of the Blessed Sacrament Golden Knights Drum and Bugle Corps (Newark, NJ) in brass and percussion from 1950 to 1959. Became a member of the now defunct United States Air Force Drum and Bugle Corps in Washington, DC from 1959 to 1963 under Truman Crawford and Rick Gabriel. I finished my last 7 years of duty in the Air Force with the United States Air Force Pipe Band (Washington, DC) as a side drummer and bass drummer under John Bosworth and Sandy Jones. Have arranged for Drum and Bugle Corps such as the VIPs (Washington, DC), Young Americans (Newport News, VA), and The Westmoreland Esquires (Irwin, PA) and various other musical groups.

      Music has always been my passion; I love to create and compose. I hope you like what you hear -- it is a pleasure to create it and a joy to have others like it.
