History (in the Music Business!)

Started playing bass in a high-school rock band in 1980

Performed a self-promoted show in my home town of St. Agatha during my Senior Year in High School.

During college at St. Thomas University, I met up with Steve Collin and joined the band "High Fidelity" and played in bars and clubs all over Northern Maine.

Moved to Central Maine and attended the University of Maine at Augusta majoring in Jazz and Contemporary Music.

I studied bass under John Hunter and Aaron Hersey (currently in the Vermont based band Pork Tornado)

Met and began to play with Ric Edmiston as part of the duo Lackee's Magnito recording the famed "Greatest Hits" album published through Schooner Fare's label Outer Green Records

Moved to Southern Maine to attend graduate school at the University of Southern Maine and began to play with the Manhattan Transfer tribute band "Rush Hour" with Jennifer Porter. (Jen is still producing new music, co-founded a theater group in Saco, and co-produced, wrote, scored, and starred in a feature file "Mr. Barrington".

After several years of being out of music I hooked up with an old UMA classmate Gerald Brann and joined the group Barking Spiders. I played with bandmates Gerald, Mike Tobias (owner of Augusta's Pavlov's Music) and Peter Rogers. Gerald is currently also busy with his own group Yellow Brick Road (a tribute band to Elton John)
