I have been playing drums for Relish The Band since October of 2024. I’ve also played in many other bands in Sonoma County over the years. When I am not playing gigs, I am practicing. It’s what I love to do. Now it’s back to the Bat Cave to work on some new songs. Hope to see you all at the next gig.

What can I say… I’m retired, I have a wonderful, loving family and lots of fun loving friends, I love playing guitar, and there’s nothing better than to play and watch people enjoy the music. I’m living my best life, hope to meet you along the way!

I've been playing the harmonica for as long as I can remember. I take a harmonica with me wherever I go. I started playing publically in 2013 at wineries in Southern California. I would ask local musicians if I could join them for a song or two.Now I play with three different groups here in the North Bay and Oakmont. I "Relish" every chance I get to play music.
