Things I've done: While a member of the 215th Army Band, I toured many great countries including Greece, Holland, Iceland and Jamaica. I also did a year working for Carnival Cruise Lines and cruising the Caribbean back in the early 90's. Before joining Mirage I played with Players, The Knights and the Evan Goodrow Band.

Musical inspirations: Lenny Pickett, Maceo Parker, John Coltrane, Cannonball Adderley, Tower of Power, James Brown, Funky Meters Why I like Mirage: I enjoy playing in Mirage mostly because of the talented musicians I get to share the stage with every weekend. The band is tight and we all get along really well. We've played some killer parties for some great people!
