In 1962 I joined the U.S. Navy and spent the next 20 years as a sax player with various Navy Bands including 6 years (1970-1976) with the U.S. Naval Academy Band in Annapolis, Md.  My Navy years also included 2 years of study at the U.S. Navy School of Music, where I studied such things as theory, harmony, arranging, conducting and composition.  Somewhere along the way I started 'doubling' on keyboards.

In 1982 I retired from the Navy and spent the next 10 years as a keyboard/sax player with a road band. 

In 1992 I returned to my hometown of Houston, Texas where I have since been performing locally and regionally.
