Dave is a local San Diego native who started playing keyboards at an early age, with classical piano training in his youth.

 

Long an avid rock fan, Dave first started playing rock professionally some years later when he joined the local favorite, Insex, an alternative rock band that performed a blend of covers and originals in venues throughout the San Diego and LA areas through the 80’s.

 

Dave continued on to bring his keyboards to Citizen Kane, an all-originals San Diego based group.  He then took a break from music to complete his degrees and moved away to pursue a professional career.  But Dave knew where he belonged, and eventually returned to his hometown of San Diego.

 

Dave never lost his desire to create music, and after a few successful reunion shows with the original Insex crew, he was hooked again!  Dave is now is back on the keys and excited to add his keyboards to Shady Grey’s immensely talented lineup.

 

 Dave lives in North County with his beautiful wife Christy and their two ridiculously adorable children, Tyler and Makenna.
