the band
-
Picked up my first pair of drumsticks when I was 5, in 1st grade where I joined the school band, we went through different areas of percussion. Around 4th grade I finally got behind a full kit, and the first song I learned to play was BTO's 'You Ain't Seen Nothing Yet'. At that point I was hooked, and opened my world to Rock like Kiss, Led Zeppelin, and Rolling Stones and this is the direction I wanted to head...
Bounced in and out of bands for a while, then put together Tempest in the 80s, had a long run with them, and for different reasons band separated. This was an original band where my heart settled, nothing like creating and playing music from your heart.
In early 2000s I formed Iron Core Banned and this is were I have been ever since. Have shared the stage with Skidrow, Ratt, Buckcherry, Drowning pool, LA Guns, Faster Pussy Cat, Saliva... the list goes on.

Born Astoria Queens, NYC. ASCAP Recording Artist. '79 - '93 Played the Manhattan & Village scene. Played the Orignial Venues such as CBGB's, Great Gildersleeves, China Club, Trax, Old Ritz (W 4Th), Limelight and it was incredible performing w/ tons of great talent. Moved to Pocono’s 30+ yrs ago.
Pocono's is a "Cover Region" So I did what I needed to do. ACDC-Zeppelin.Performed with bands in the Pocono's "Innocent Bystander", "Bad Influence", "Wild Knights", and "F.O.F". These bands were so much fun & great times where abundant. 2015 Major Health problems sidelined everything.
I wondered, was this the end of my musical career. After all the operations, endless rehab there was nothing musically happening... In the summer of 2021 I answered an ad, for Iron Core which has given me back the drive, perseverance & fun to perform. I am so proud to be a part of Iron Core.

Grew up in Carle Place, Long Island, started playing at the age of 12. Went to school with Steve Vai and that's when it changed.
Took lessons from him and moved to the Poconos over 25 years ago. Many influences like Sabbath, Zeppelin, Zappa, and Steve Vai. Love my Gibsons, Fenders', Mesa Boogie, and Marshall.
Now I have the pleasure to share the stage with Iron Core.
