Being a military brat, I began my journey into music when I was 12, starting with piano lessons, but moved to acoustic guitar, one of those Sears guitars and eventually purchased my 1st real electric guitar a Univox Strat. That was traded in for a Gibson SG. I began bass at 16 on a Electra Rickenbacker. I eventually sold these when I moved to South Florida.I transitioned to keyboards and played many different styles with different local musicians. My 1st synthesizer was a used ARP-2600. I bought a Yamaha CS-80 in 1983 and eventually ended up with a DX7 in the early 90's. I returned to the Gulf Coast in 2005. My main tools are a Kurzweil K2500, Kurzweil K2000VP, Yamaha DX7/Roland JV-1080 keyboard/synthesizer combination, a custom Fender/Warmouth fretless P-bass, Peavy Millennium BXP-AC 5 string and a small venue PA system. I have played bass, keyboards and vocals with Red 423. In 2013 I played bass and sang in Pensacola Beach with Ziggy and the Moondawgs (Billy Holmes, Don Holmes and Bob Tucker) also played bass in Aftermath 5. After a break back playing in Coastal Groove (Hal Aiken, Mitch Rall) .
