In my travels as a saxophonist and woodwind player, composer, teacher, arranger, producer/engineer, plus as a performer in films, TV and in theater, I've worked all over the globe; the one career highlight has to be playing in the remote Star Mountain highlands of Papua New Guinea 900 miles from the nearest road, at an arts festival with 30 different local tribes including Marlboro smoking mud men and (alledged) cannibals.

Born Melbourne, Australia 1962, relocated to New York in 1990. After completing the Jazz Studies course at Sydney Conservatorium of Music in 1986, worked and toured all over Australia with many different groups. Moved to NY spending a brief period of study at the Manhattan School of Music with sax master Paul Cohen, and been lucky enough to work with so many of the best and most amazing musicians and bands in New York ever since.

Check out the Band page and some of the groups I've worked with, and listen to some music samples. My latest project is composing music for educational settings; music for middle and high school and beyond. Watch this space for postings and publishing info.
