Bio 

Born in Los Angeles, but grew up in Scottsdale, AZ. Enlisted in Army at age 18. Upon discharge, continued as an LEO for the next 33 years. But to maintain my sanity, I've always turned to musical performance as my escape. (Cop by day, musician by night.) Now retired, I still perform in a variety of local bands, tirelessly work on my first record album and volunteer as a Guitars4Vets instructor.
