Bio
Born and raised in Avon, NY. Wife Carole and kids Andrew, Patrick, Collin, and Kathleen. Middle/High School Principal
at Geneseo Central School. Taught science and coached a variety of sports before moving into the principalship and then the
superintendent position.
Main influences
Always loved to sing. No formal training. Grew up harmonizing with the Beatles,
Simon and Garfunkle, and many of the folk singers of the 60’s and 70’s. Celtic music and church music are strong influences.
Sang in the church folk group as a kid. Did some musicals in grade school, high school, and college years. I still do
a lot of singing in church.
Favorite song(s) that the band plays
I’m a 70’s kid so the Eagles, Jackson Brown, Billy Joel, Springsteen,
and all the classic rock and Motown tunes are my kind of music. I really enjoy the tunes we do that are thick with harmonies.
I love singing lead on Brown-Eyed Girl because the entire audience likes to sing along.
Favorite thing about playing in Bob’s
Brother’s Band
This is a fun group of very talented musicians. I have always wanted to sing in a band but have never been able
to find the time. I call singing in the band my mid-life crisis and my wife is OK with it since it doesn’t involve other women
or fast cars. There’s nothing like playing live music to a great audience. My kids even enjoy our gigs!
