His father bought him a synthesizer for him on his 13th birthday, and he was hooked as a keyboard player. In high school he and his best friend formed a 7-piece band named Tempest along with other local friends and enjoyed five years playing during the 70's live music era. They recorded an original album entitled "Three Shots For the Band" and played throughout Wisconsin. During college, he studied music and then later played in two other area bands - Hydra and Troy. After taking years off for babies and business, he joined Zoinks, a Milwaukee area band in 1999. In 2007, he joined the cover band Last Call, where he met Rob. Rob left that band and joined with Len to start a new venture which evolved into 2 Sides Live!
