He moved to the United States in 1979 and played with Jon Hendricks in 1981–1985, including tours of Europe and Israel. He played with Benny Goodman in 1985–1986, and following this played as a sideman with Ken Peplowski, Marty Grosz, Keith Ingham, Frank Vignola, Chuck Wilson, and Spanky Davis. He has also played with Buck Clayton, Grover Mitchell, Annie Ross, Richard Wyands, Kenny Davern, and Claude Williams.
