In 1982 he left New York for the Live Music Capital of the World, Austin, TX. After a 9 year stint in California where he played jazz and fronted a rock band, he moved back to the ATX where he holds down the high harmonies for Driftwood Moon.

Now he is back in Texas and proud to be part of one of the best bands in the Austin area.
