The guitar, and music in general have been a passion since 1968, when I was given my Grandfather's Gibson L-1 Archtop Acoustic, which I still cherish.
I'm a life long resident of the New Jersey / New York area, where I attended William Paterson University, studying Music and Business.
Freelance teaching, consulting, recording, producing, and audio / visual system design. are all skill sets. I love variety.
These skills allow me to work with, or consult for, a wide array of artists which include: George Benson, Pastor Andre Crouch, Al DiMeola, Stevie Wonder, Carmine Appice, Jimmy Vivino - The Tonight Show / Conan, Bernard "Pretty" Purdie, Nashville’s Brent Mason, Tito Puente Jr., The B-52's, Arlen Roth, Joe Satriani, Don Randi - The Wrecking Crew, Johnny A, The Vanilla Fudge, Robert Randolph - Family Band, Gene Cornish & Eddie Brigati - The Rascals, Brad Whitford - Aerosmith, Chris Parker, Ace Frehley - Kiss, Rob Paparozzi - BS&T, Blues Legend Hubert Sumlin, Lou Pallo - Les Paul Trio, Richie Cannata - Billy Joel, Bruce Springsteen, Steve Howe - Yes, and Les Paul.
My relationship with Les Paul is what I am most proud of. Les developed the Solidbody Electric Guitar, Multitrack Recording, and the foundations of modern music technology. He consulted with me often on new developments. We often worked closely at his historic home in Mahwah NJ.
Les also hired me to mix his Front of House sound at New York's Iridium Club, located in Times Square saying; "Steve, you gave me some of the best mixes ever". As a guitarist, I joined Les onstage several times. He is truly missed.
Currently, I have been working with his son Rusty, in continuing the Les Paul Legacy.
