"When I was young, my goals were
definite. As time went on, my dreams grew infinite…"
Lyrics from “ I Wouldn’t Change a Thing”

Artist,
Singer/Songwriter/Musician, Author
Several years ago
I made a life changing decision. I retired from
engineering to pursue my passions. Today I
am a singer/songwriter, an artist, and author.
Music
- The Singer/Songwriter/Musician
My music career began as the lead guitar player of “The
MOZAIC”, a popular Long Island New York rock band. After
a few years I began playing solo and continued to
develop my own sound and style. I enjoyed the challenges
of being a solo-singer/guitarist, covering a wide range
of contemporary artists.Soon I began to write my own
music, and throughout the years I have written many songs
and continue to develop my own style.
Through my music I work to create a unique sound by
combining my guitar techniques, words, voice, and positive outlook on life. During the past year I took
some of those songs to a recording studio and completed
my first CD "Every Ordinary Day"

The Artist
I have always been passionate about art but while
working, hadn’t allowed myself the time to pursue art
with the intensity that it requires. As an artist I’ve
discovered how to see the world in different ways. You
analyze how light reacts on objects, how water moves,
and the complexity of color. As an artist you attempt to
isolate a time in space and invoke an interest and
emotion using various media. The challenge as an artist
is to observe, improvise, and create a work of art that
instills such an emotion in a viewer be it excitement,
comfort, fear, anger, curiosity, etc.
My style will continue to develop as I investigate the
diverse options that art provides. I hope this diversity
hits a nerve in you as you view my
art.
The
Author
I have been writing for years, mostly songs and
music. I
discovered that I can tell stories not
only through my music but also by writing books. I
have recently published my first novel titled
“Over
the Border” on smashwords.com. Writing “Over the
Border” has opened up an exciting new and creative venue
for me. As a result, I am working on another book
“Deception Factor” which is in the editing stages
and will be available soon.
