Born on the 18th of May 1955, in Oceanside, New York, I grew up in Bellmore.

I started playing drums at age 12, but was banging on anything like drums as long I can remember. My first musical training came on the Trumpet, and later the French horn, but I always was a drummer at heart.
With some friends, played parties and talent shows throughout high school
with our band, “Lightning”.
After a 6 year stint in the Navy as an Electronics Technician, during which I learned to play guitar, (much easier to carry than drums), I came home to play drums in a band with my brothers, “Alaska”, doing Rush copies and original compositions, while working in the electronics field as my real job.
