Before moving to Naples, Florida in December of 2020, I worked for over 40 years in New York City as a keyboard player, composer, arranger, and conductor. I've played on albums, film scores, live television and radio broadcasts. Outside of the recording studio, I've worked as an orchestra musician in over a dozen hit Broadway shows and conducted shows for regional theater. I've also performed in concerts and festivals, backing well known artists in the classic rock, jazz, blues, and cabaret fields. I have extensive experience playing weddings and corporate events, both solo and with ensembles ranging from duos to 17 piece bands. My current gig schedule can be found on my Live Appearances page.
