| About Me | I'm proud to have met or worked with some of the biggest names in the entertainment world, starting with Johnny Tillotson and the Everly Brothers before I left Ohio.

I've been lucky in my life to have met and worked with some of the finest entertainers of our generation: In addition to Johnny Tillotson, The Everly Brothers & Dennis Yost and the Classics IV, add Gene Hughes and The Casinos, Bobby Goldsboro, The Turtles, Young Rascals, Tony Orlando and Dawn, Bob Hope, Kenny Rogers, Jack Blanchard & Misty Morgan, Arthur Fiedler and hundreds of others. I've done concert sound work for more than 110 live concerts and even worked on three TV specials and a movie (Jaws 3)! Many of the friends I knew have passed on but I'm still in contact with their families.
