Born and bred in Malvern, educated at Somers Park and Chase schools. Had piano lessons as a child, and soon became very interested in pop music. Taught himself to play the guitar and formed a group called The Falcons. The name came from the Chase School Magazine, which was the school all the group members attended. The group enjoyed good popularity and played a variety of venues. After splitting up he did just bits and bobs, until  a group of players formed a band called Rock of Ages. Having parted from that Band he has now played lead guitar for the Pontiacs for the past  fifteen years and is a very popular  member.
