BIO
I’ve been playing bass since about 1987. My first band was called “Wired”, which was a cover band. I attended Musicians Institute from 1991-1992, graduating in Spring of 1992. I then started playing with a group from Galena, Ill. called the Pojamas. It was an eclectic mix of folk, funk, and rock originals. I went back to school for computers, and ended up playing in a really fun cover band called “Tollbooth Willy”. I moved to Madison, Wisconsin in the Summer of 1997, and ended up starting a band with some friends called “Smokin’ with Superman“. I played with this band until about 2004. After that, I did some fill-in work for bands like Lorenzo’s Music and The Bradachs. I also played with 20 Reasons Taken, Marcus King and Thee Royalty, and Marc LaMere.
