Location:  Saint Paris, Ohio

How did you get into Pink Floyd?  When The Wall was released, we all had a copy and play it incessantly.  I naturally moved on to the Dark Side of the Moon album and heard saxophone!!!  That did it for me.

Favorite Pink Floyd song and why?  Shine On You Crazy Diamond.  Not only does it end with the Baritone/Tenor sax solo, but the entire song is a masterpiece in the way it builds.  There is such power in that song.

What equipment do you use? My soprano, alto and tenor saxes are all Yamaha Purple logos “born” in the early 70’s.  My mouthpieces are Custom Ponzol’s and I use Legere Signature reeds.

Brief musical history:  I've been playing music on and off since I was 7.  I studied saxophone a  Thee Ohio State University and have been playing with various bands my whole life.  I have been very blessed to play with many outstanding musicians and people.

Name of the first band you were in:   Grand Rapid

Best gig and why?  I always struggle with this question because they are all special in one way or another.  I love them all because of this truly talented and crazy group of people and the great fan support we receive.
