Growing up listening to the music of big bands, I started playing at the age of 9. Throughout my career, I played in combo bands in college, the Army NORAD Band and as a music teacher in the Capistrano Unified School District.

Today you can find me playing the classic sounds of Big Bands, Jazz and Bossa Nova at casual and professional venues including restaurants, wine bars, and private parties throughout Orange County. I am also honored to play in many Senior Centers and Assisted Living, in the area, as well. I can be a one-man show with pre-recorded backgrounds, or bring in a larger group known as Satin Express.

When I'm not playing, I enjoy making wine, authentic Italian food, and spending time with my grandkids.
