I began my music training when I was just under 5 years old, playing a little 12 key accordion because my hands were too small to sit at a piano. At 8 I switched to piano, but soon The Beatles came to town and I took up the guitar. When music became my profession rather than my dream I was predominantly a keyboard player, with sax coming into the mix in my later years and guitar fading into the background. In addition to my Easy Street years, I played with The CruiseMasters, Cruisin' and Shout. I am now a professional computer geek, with a private business in Akron where I'm known as as The PC Doctor of Akron, offering in-home computer repairs. I am active in animal welfare issues and enjoy the company of my dog, Scruff.

I can be found elbow deep in computer parts on my work bench, ankle deep in sawdust in my basement wood shop, or outside working in my yard.
