About Me

I'm a professional bass guitarist from Kankakee, Illinois. I've been performing for over 20 years now. I've worked my way from being a violin player in 5th grade, to being one of Kankakee County's hardest working bassists.

Along the way, I've been in the Illinois All-State Orchestra, performed in the Kankakee Valley Theater Orchestra, high school jazz band, orchestra, performed with the swing choir and pep band.

During and after high school I performed in the local variety charity event The Spice of Life and the fundraiser Bishop McNamara's Madcaps.

After High School I experimented with various day jobs before finding my true calling in life. Music. Although, I currently work as a delivery driver for Famous Furniture in Kankakee.

Since that day, I have worked in many fine local and regional bands. A partial list being:

I am currently working with JD & The Phuzz.

I've done studio work and can also read music, (although not as well as I would like).

I am currently available for studio work and to fill in with any act needing a fill in bassist. (If I'm not already busy with The Phuzz.)
