Personal Description

The following is a synopsis of my recording career.
I began singing in the Amato Opera, N.Y.C. under the supervision of Tony Amato when I was 10 years of age. I made my first recording at age 13 and signed my first record contract at age 16 with Artie Ripp, who produced Billy Joel, Sly & the Family Stone and others. When I turned 17, I was signed by Clive Davis to Columbia Records with a group known as “The Roman Numerals”. We performed at Carnegie Hall in 1968 before we signed with Buddha Records. In those formative years we recorded in some of the now famous studios such as A & R, Columbia, and Bell Sound. Around 1975 I began a lifetime writing collaboration with Karen Mantero, a singer-songwriter. We have written over 120 songs together.
I am an arranger and musician and began producing artists with diversifying styles as well as my own independent productions.
I opened my first commercial recording studio in 1980 in Hicksville Long Is. N. Y. The studio re-located to Northport Fl in 1989 as a 16 track analog room. In 1995 it was upgraded to a 24 track digital ADAT facility and again in 1999 it became completely non-linear. I relocated to Orlando in 2002 and now work with a DAW including Cubase, Wavelab, Adobe Audition, and Pro-Tools M-Powered.
I began teaching audio production in 1996 at Manatee Community College and have been teaching at Seminole Community College since 2004. In the past five years I have been tutoring privately as well.
I am utilized best as a mixing engineer and have over 90 productions ranging from 8 tracks to 32 tracks analog, digital and analog to digital remix transfers. Some of my work is available at:

I produced, directed and edited a video documentary titled
“Ziggy on the Run” premiering in N.Y.C.
In the 80s I produced and edited 12 short VHS music videos promoting some of the artists I worked with.
