School:  Lampeter-S t r a s b u r g , Pennsylvan i a College Of Art
Employer:  Cambridge, MA


Musician, bassist, vocalist. Born and raised in Lancaster, PA. Moved to Cambridge, MA in 1996 to collaborate with members of Morphine and any like-minded artists, who are interested in minimal rock, and what Mark Sandman called "Low Rock".

Grew up listening to mostly Punk, Post-Punk, New Wave, And pretty much anything coming out of the UK, Germany and Japan between 1978 and 1983.
However, it was also at this time that Dad got me into 60's R&B, Funk, and Pink Floyd and Isao Tomita.

* Dad had a stereo business for many years. He called it C.C.Hi-Fi Repairs (from the original Conestoga Cassesttes, with Gill Sperling). I clearly remember him receiving free LPs from JVC, and RCA created for the sole purpose of blowing the minds of customers when they listen to those Polk Audio SDAs. Some of the LPs had that special strip printed across the top that said "Original Master Recording". LPs of Steely Dan's "Aja", Pink Floyd's "Dark Side..." and "The Wall", Tomita doing "Snowflakes Are Dancing",

My brother, 11 years older, turned me onto Missing Persons, Rush, Ultravox, Led Zeppelin, Blue Oyster Cult, Gary Numan, Black Sabbath, Motorhead.

MTV turned me on to Talking Heads (hey, I grew up in the burbs. there's no way I would've found them on my own), Laurie Anderson, Japan, YMO, Grace Jones, Duran Duran, Talk Talk, The Fixx, Roxy Music, Adam & The Ants, Siouxsie & The Banshees, Bauhaus, Joy Division, Josef K...etc.

Not good at writing these things. It's not fun for me. I'd rather be listening to music or making some. Check out my stations. Drop me a line if you'd like.
