Musician. He was the guitarist for the Florida-based rock band "Stranger." He grew up in Charleston, South Carolina and began playing guitar when his father, a country & western musician, gave his son his first guitar, a Fender Strat. He played guitar for more than seventeen years for the former Epic Recording Label Rock Band, "Stranger," produced by Tom Werman. He toured the USA from 1982 to 1983 to promote "Stranger's" epic self-titled debut named "Stranger" before settling down in Florida. After the band's seventeen-plus year run, singer, Greg Billings, parted ways and "Stranger" tried unsuccessfully in the early 90s to regain the strength that they once held in their glory days with replacement singer, Donnie Lee, but the band soon fell apart. The impeccable guitarist, he, committed suicide with a gunshot wound in 1996 after the break-up of the band and marital problems. He is best remembered for crowd pleasers such as "Swamp Woman," "Jackie's So Bad," which received modest airplay, and a soundtrack called "No More Dirty Deals" for the movie with this same title.
