Born in Detroit first drums were Tupperware. Dad played piano, was a tap dancer and sound man on the Lone Ranger show. Private lessons lead to a series of basement bands and hours practicing, recording with local artists like Mark Touchette, Darryl Plummer. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j4PQ1mP0YIM

Showing up at jam sessions led to a spot with Jeff Maylin along with Carlos Gonzanles as the Bad Passion band, gigging statewide at venues such as the Attic in Hamtramck, The Soup Kitchen Saloon in Detroit and the New Way in Ferndale among others. Releasing the cd the Kat and The Blues, this all happened in the late 90’s through 2001.

During this time I met John and Wildcat and John Hayes who would often drop in on us at the End of the Park among other places and years later when looking for a band on Craigslist by a cosmic stroke I came across John again on my first tries on that particular day and here we are.
