Though I grew up in Maryland, my family has been in Pittsburgh since 1906 when my grandmother came off the boat from Russia at age 6. I have lived in Pittsburgh since 1996. I graduated from the University of Pittsburgh with a Masters in Business Administration in 2001. I currently reside in Upper St. Clair with my wife and daughter.

About Me:

I play piano, Hammond organ and keys. Outside of jazz, I am also into funk, soul, fusion, jam bands, gospel and blues, too. In Pittsburgh, I have studied under Dr. James Johnson, Gene Ludwig and Bob Doak. I have a long ways to go and am still very much a work in progress. I don't do music for a living, but mostly love the freedom to play on different projects, start up new bands, put original stuff out there, and overall pursue what interests me musically without regard to earning an income from it to whoever is interested. Some of my influences include Ray Charles, Donny Hathaway, George Duke, Joe Zawinul, Jimmy Smith, Jack McDuff, Joey D, Stevie Wonder, Monk, Herbie, McCoy and too many others to list.
