The big news at this stage in the gaime is that I have just relocated to the Asheville N.C. area. Just needed a change from all that hustle and bustle in Orlando. I'll keep you posted. 8-18-08

Lots of changes since my last update of 2005! My good friend Bob Smith passed away in Dec. of 2006. We'll miss you Bob. I have pulled out of the Misfits project although to date, it is still going strong. What a great band! Time to focus on writing and recording once again. I have a lot of material that's piling up and it needs to be documented. Looking forward to collaborating with some of the excellent talent I've encountered in the past couple of years. Stay tuned! 12-23-07

Well I have just finished (I think) laying down drum tracks for the infamous Bob Smith's "The Visit". Bob's upcoming and as yet untitled new album is scheduled for release in the upcoming weeks and could very well be his best effort to date. For those of you who may not remember, Bob has been making records since the '70's and is credited with having the #1 selling psychedelic record of all time. For more on Bob click Here 01-08-05

I have begun work on an exciting new project, Earthbound Misfits - a tribute to Pink Floyd.
The project is being directed by and features Peter Lauda of Physical Graffiti fame. This endeavor will prove to be quite challenging I'm sure but promises to be one of the best Floyd tributes around. You can learn more by visiting the band's website at http://earthboundmisfits.net 1 1-12-04

My band MLC has reformed after loosing our bass player this past spring. The new line up consists of:

I have been contracted to orchestrate music for the film Faith from Space Age Films. I look forward to working with Producer Charles Willits and crew on this exciting new film scheduled for release in 2004.

The film Voltage has been put on the back burner for now due to casting issues.

The soundtrack for the film One Happy Movie is finally available.
