Thanks for stopping by! I've put up this website just to give people a little more info about me and what I'm up to.

In February, I returned from another "Dancing With the Stars" tour... This time around, we had Toni Braxton, Lance Bass, Marlee Matlin, and Maurice Greene with us. Everything went well, the band kicked ass as usual! We won't be touring this Summer, but maybe again next winter.

So now, I'm hangin' back in LA, and things have been pretty busy... I'm in the midst of finishing a record with a really cool instrumental funk band called Wonk!... We hope to release the record sometime this Summer, I'll keep you posted. Aside from that, I've been doing some gigs with artists such as Brian Auger, Tomasina, Tommy King, and others... check out the GIGS page for local dates. I've also done a couple music videos recently, one with new Hollywood Records recording artist Steve Rushton , and another with American Idol season 5 finalist Elliott Yamin... click on the aforementioned artists' names to see the videos.

On the recorded side of things, a couple albums that I played on have recently been released.... I did 2 tracks on Greg Poree's new record "Inventions", and I did 4 tracks on James McKenna's new record "I Am" . I also played on upcoming releases by Kate Higgins and Zoux, I'll let you know when those are available.

I finally updated the photos section of this website, with lots of new pics and videos.... CLICK HERE

I'm now set up for remote recording, so if you need any bass tracks, don't hesitate to ask! I've been working on a new website centered on recording, called BassTracksOnline.com, and it's now up and running. Click HERE to check it out.

Well, that's about all I have to update you with at the moment... Feel free to stop by my GIGS page to see where and when I'm playing. Thanks for stopping by, hope to see you soon!
