I hold a Bachelor of Music degree from the University of the Arts in Philadelphia, along with a Guitar Tech Certification from the Galloup School of Guitar Building/Repair.
Recently, I’ve been performing with private event bands based in Chicago and Grand Rapids, touring across various cities and regions including Illinois, Indiana, Wisconsin, Iowa, Michigan, Minnesota, South Dakota, Las Vegas, Ohio, Florida, New York, Quebec, the Bahamas, and Riviera Maya, Mexico. These performances have taken place in a range of venues, including bars, casinos, and corporate events.
​
In addition to my live performance work, my original music has been licensed for television and film. I’ve had the privilege of collaborating with a variety of talented artists, such as Roy Thomas Baker (Queen, The Cars, The Darkness), Jeff Lane (Chance The Rapper), Matt Walker (Morrissey, Smashing Pumpkins), Nick Carter (Backstreet Boys), Stripping The Pistol (Rock Chicago), With A Gun (Post-Punk Chicago), The Silents (Alternative Chicago), Aly Jados (Blood People/American Idol), Blacklist Union (Touring LA), and Young Static (Hip Hop Chicago).
​
My work has been featured in prominent outlets such as Blabbermouth, Brave New World, Metal Hammer, Metal Hammer Greece, Band:Smart by Martin Atkins, and Refinery 29. Currently, I am signed to Virgin Music (The Label Group/Zoid) under the name Stripping The Pistol, with music available on all major streaming platforms.
