Well I'm originally from Memphis Tenn. (which probably explains my love for Blues). I later moved up north to Meadville PA. I actually know Frans home town because my mother's entire family is from Levittown and the Bucks county area

I started gigging when I was a sophmore in highschool. I had played in several bands over the years. After highschool I moved to Mesa Arizona. Played in a few bands there as well. In 1997 I moved to Charleston West Virginia. I ended up attending West Virginia State University. Also played numerous solo gigs on campus for various functions.

I met my wife at college. We have one child (just bought our first home), and have moved to a small city in West Virginia called "Hurricane". However the city is not pronounced how it's spelled. People here say it differently.

I don't have to tell you guys all the negative stereotypes associated with the state of West Virginia. Honestly I don't even know how it all started, but this state is nothing like the stereotypes. It is a very beautiful state. Sure you have some dihard country folk down here, but from my experience there are "hillbillys" in every state I don't even see whey they call it a southern state. The north won't claim us, and the south won't claim us either. We're just in the middle I guess.

I haven't gigged in years. I play for personal enjoyment now. I still get offers to play, but don't have the time anymore. I will however take an offer and help a local music store owner sell a few keyboards this Christmas.
