  • Bio

    If you're from Northeastern Pennsylvania, you may recognize me from playing guitar or running sound and lights in the local clubs, or setting up audio for everyone from ..Areosmith to ZZ Top at The Montage Mountain Amphitheatre...

I'm a FOH (front of house) sound dude for a large club .PA and light show.. and engineer ..a 32+ track professional recording studio... I've also been known to shoot and edit video, especially for band promo packs, and have worked with many of the local bands including.. Simon Sez, Tin Pan Alley, Blues Power Revolution, and Tribes.., just to name a few. I'm into restoring vintage drums, guitars, amps and recording gear. I love helping original bands bring out their sound using all different types of gear and my experience as a songwriter. On occasion, I make myself available to.. DJ your wedding, party, or batmitzva.. (lol) and people say I have a way of keeping the dance floor packed! thump-thump....

Lips and Jason Mraz



This is an Xbox/Jason Mraz commercial entitled Lips that was shot at The Scranton Cultural Center, a venue I work. After setting up the shoot, the director asked me if I would be in the commercial. I'm at the end, playing the part of...what else...a sound dude!

You may recognize me from playing guitar or running sound and lights in the local clubs, or setting up audio for everyone from Areosmith to ZZ Top at The Montage Mountain Amphitheatre. I also set up audio for Broadway plays and run sound for dance studios at the Scranton Cultural Center at The Masonic Temple.

I'm a FOH (front of house) sound dude for a large PA and light show and engineer a 32+ track professional recording studio. I've also been known to shoot and edit video, especially for band promo packs, and have worked with many of the local bands including Simon Sez, Tin Pan Alley, Blues Power Revolution, and Tribes, just to name a few. I'm into restoring vintage drums, guitars, amps and recording gear. I love helping original bands bring out their sound using all different types of gear and my experience as a songwriter. On occasion, I make myself available to DJ your wedding, party, or batmitzva (lol) and people say I have a way of keeping the dance floor packed! thump-thump

Part of the reason for setting up this site is to showcase the musical talents of area musicians to appear on a LIVE Improvised Webcast! On Friday nites, the studio opens up to all different types of musicians, most of which have recorded here at one time or another, to improvise words and music direct to 2 track DVD, an the occasional multitracked session. These songs are webcast directly to you on the above player, FREE, every Friday nite from 9pm to 6am est. ALL NIGHT LONG!. You can also watch excerpts from the show anytime but, if you want it LIVE, you gotta tune in Friday Nite. Don't forget to click the CHAT icon and say HI or type a request Thanx.
