I got my first paying gig as the lead singer in a pop metal cover band at age 13, and was playing trumpet well before that. Since 1993, I've independently released 5 records as a singer/songwriter, recording and mixing the last four and managing my live band, Johnstown, along the way. I've also played drums in a variety of San Francisco bands, including The Tenderfew.
