I was born in New York. I Spent ten years in New Orleans playing seedy clubs and Bourbon Street dives. New Orleans provided a priceless real-world musical education for me.What I learned playing music there and interacting with that musical scene has proven more useful to me then anything I have ever learned in school. I moved to Los Angeles in 1992. For the first six years I played in bands and worked in studios around town. In 1995 I opened my first studio in Culver City. Since 1998 I've been Scott Weiland's producing and writing partner. I combined my studio with his studio in Burbank Ca. Scott and I have worked on many projects together. We have been writing and producing songs for his next solo record for the past nine years. I play guitar and keys and act as the musical director for his live solo band.

I've been writing and playing music for over 25 years and producing and engineering for over fifteen years. I've earned several gold and platinum records. I've played in too many bands to name (none of which you've heard of). I play guitar, bass and keyboards. I program, produce and engineer. I've done almost every job involved with the creative side of making and recording music, and I think this makes me a better producer a better musician and a better engineer.
