I have written and/or played with Alicia Keys, Robert Randoloph, Gwen Stefani, Sheryl
Crow, Bono, Glen Burtnik, Steve Mostyn and more.
I am currently writing, producing and playing with some of the most talented people in the world like Jerzy Jung, Rick Barry, Jillian Rhys, Kerry Brothers, Alex Govere and Gabrielle Ross.
I make really funny faces when I sing.
I drink lots and lots of strong black coffee and love the New York Mets.
I'm not all caught up in trying to be cool. I spend most time just being myself...which is cool.
I had an orange and white cat named Trent who talked...samples available upon request. I miss him a lot.
I get sad when it's cold and there's no sun.
I run on The Brooklyn Bridge most days.
My friend Bart is good on computers.
Who I'd like to meet: Interesting people. People with passion for life and it's beauty. Hard workers. Coffeeholics, musicholics and alcoholics...recovering from the latter. Churchills fans. Paul McCartney. Smart folks who like bathroom humor and talking feet.
