Thanks for stopping in! Originally from upstate NY, I've been in Nashville, TN since 1997 playing bass with various Rock, Pop, and Country artists.
I've been fortunate to perform and/or record with a lot of talented artists, musicians and producers. While playing countless coffee houses, clubs, theaters and arenas across the world, I've also appeared on such television shows as: The Late Show with David Letterman, The Tonight show with Jay Leno, Late Night with Conan O'Brien, Ellen, The Canadian Country Music Awards, The Dove Awards, The Today Show, Live with Regis and Kathy Lee, The Rosie O'Donnell Show, The Donny & Marie Show, The Martin Short Show, Top Of The Pops, Sabrina the Teenage Witch, Days Of Our Lives, The Mike Bullard Show and many others. Songs that I have played on have been used on multiple television programs and feature films such as Here on Earth, Dick, One Tree Hill, Felicity, A View From The Top, How to Lose a Guy in 10 Days, and the theme song to NBC's American Dreams. You may have even heard my playing on various television commercials for Saturn and Ortho Tri Cyclen (yup, birth control), among others.
Travel has been one of the best perks of my career! I've played in 48 U.S. states (please,.. need Hawaii and Alaska bookings!!!!!), Canada, Argentina, Britain, Scotland, Norway, Sweden, Germany, Belgium, Denmark, Spain, France, Italy, The Netherlands, Switzerland, Turkey, The Philippines, South Korea, Indonesia and Japan. My Passport is up-to-date and I'm always looking to expand my horizons!
As a member of Sixpence None The Richer, I have been fortunate to ride a wave of experience that taught me a lot about the music industry. Sometimes easily, and sometimes the hard way! Along the way, a Grammy Nomination and hit singles kick-started my career as a bassist. I'm proud of the work I've done with Sixpence and continue to work with the band on new recordings and occasional performances.

I'm always looking for new projects to work on and people to work on them with! Whether it be live performances anywhere in the world or bass tracks for your creative endeavors, let me know if I can be of assistance. I love to travel, but I am also set up at home with Pro Tools for 'remote recorded' bass tracks. Just send me an email and I'll get back to you asap!
