Started gigging as a sax man when I was 18, stayed with it for 10+ years, switched careers as a business application developer and eventually resumed gigging on the side until retiring from IT after almost 25 years. Never going to retire from gigging. Produced a 5 track CD back in 2013 and performed a 90-minute show of my original contemporary jazz project at the Musical Instrument Museum Theater in September 2014. Now that I’m retired I’m writing again with the intent on making a full album that is a lot more ambitious now that I’m no longer tied down to an 8-5 day job. After the album is completed I’ll be looking for more venues to perform my own music again.
