about me 

I've been playing the guitar for the last 53 years, ever since I was 11 years old.  I Started working professionally when I was 14, playing at weddings and other venues.

​

At the age of 17 I began performing in clubs with some of the top bands of Detroit and began traveling the country with a Vegas-style show group called the Primo People.

I've performed with an array of different talents throughout my career, including: The Temptations, Connie Graham Band, B.J. Thomas, Jimmy Dickens, Al Martino (the singer in The Godfather), Patti Page, and many others. I've also been featured in a commercial for General Motors.

​

I play a variety of Genres including: Jazz, Standards, Pop, Show-Tunes, Rock & Roll, Country and Broadway.

​

Currently I work with a 17 piece Jazz orchestra (CSO); a small Jazz Trio called RC Jazz, which performs annually at the Michigan Jazz Festival; Nursing & Assisted Living homes; and various local clubs & restaurants around the Metro-Detroit area. 

​

I also help out with various local charities and other benefits including: The Gilda's Club,  teaching underprivileged and terminally ill children; and churches including Life Church and Ignition Church.
