It all began on Christmas Day, 1981. As the first notes of Rush’s song, “Tom Sawyer” blasted over my record player, a whole new world opened up. No more Bee Gees, no more playing trumpet, no more good grades. I bought a used drum set and disappeared for the rest of High School. Later, I would surface as the drummer for such acts as The R. B. Laurence Band, The Lumzy Sisters, Mrs. Henry, and Gridley Paige.
In 1994, I attended The Recording Workshop in Ohio and lent my talents as DJ and Production Director for Central New York’s K-Rock. As a professional voice-over artist, I have written and recorded my own original music at my home studio for the past decade.

I’m looking forward to working with Stu on this and future “Copperwheat” projects. Special thanks to everyone involved for welcoming me so warmly into the “family”!
