His professional career has taken him to Europe on several occasions, doing club tours in Scandinavia, residing in Oslo, Norway for a time, and residing, writing, and recording at a studio retreat in Southern Italy. On returning to the U.S., he moved to LA on two occasions to shop my music and moonlighted as a lighting tech. He worked for Theater Vision, Inc. (TVI) in North Hollywood doing location film, movie premiers, and trade shows.
In 1981 he made the move to Philadelphia, working under the direction of violinist Jamii Szmadzinski, doing gigs and session work at the acclaimed Half-Track Sudios.
Throughout the 1980βs he continued to write, record, and work behind the scene. He was a guitar tech working for John Mellencamp, a.k.a. Johnny Cougar and the Zone. He also worked as a crew member for Fantasee Lighting Inc. doing support for national touring acts, under the direction of world-class lighting designer and
director, Stefan Graf.
Throughout the 90's he worked in a very popular local band, βThe Bashersβ, a.k.a." the Beach Bashers". They primarily played summer festivals, opening for national touring acts, performing for crowds in excess of 20,00, including the Muskegon Summer Celebration and the Traverse City Cherry Festival.
