Born in Germany, raised in the best city that happened to the United States...Chicago!!! I am the oldest of 6 children. I am the bass vocalist and also one of the producers and song writers in the incredibly hot vocal band "RefleXions". I play the piano (keyboard), organ even the drums starting at the age of about seven. My first original arrangement of a song happened when I was about 8 or 9. I had like...four chords in the song and I was on my way...watch out Pastor, Dr. Shelton Kilby(master arranger of the vocal group "The Breath of Life Quartet")! I made the same comment for Mark Kibble and Mervin Warren of Take 6...well at least in my mind I was...wishfully thinking) After all, I used to listen to their tapes for hours at a time!!!

I love the game of basketball, traveling especially to the carribean islands, somewhere my wife and I can just chill and max out to the fullest. (The kids will go on the next trip..you know, gotta check out thangs out first!...Aahem...that's homeland securities! Protecting the the family now!!
Acting,love spending time with my family and old friends laughing so hard 'til your head, cheek bones & stomach hurt from cracking jokes and laughing reminicsing the good ole' days! That's how we do in the Chi baby!! I natually enjoy arranging music and lastly, encouraging others to do well for themselves and their family.

Sucess happens when preparation meets opportunity.

I'd rather live my life as if there is a God,
And die to find out there isn't,
Than live my life as if there isn't,
And die to find out there is!
