Wayne's Story
Life
My wife Cathy & I will be celebrating our 37th Anniversary this June. We have two sons. Scott 33 and Adam 30. I still live in the same neighborhood in Springfield that I moved to from Newark in 1962.
I was a career Firefighter for 25 years retiring in 2008. After 9 years on the job I was promoted to Captain in 1992. In February of 2005 to I was promoted to Deputy Chief and then to Chief of the Department in 2006. I was in charge of a task force of two Engines and a Ladder Truck on 911 and took over F.D.N.Y. Engine 162/Ladder 82 during the towers collapse.
Started my first career in the art field and have always been involved with music. Started playing my drums when I was 6 and never stopped. The "Forty Fingers" are still partially alive. Bruce C. and myself started a new band in 200...Expand for more
0 called "BluesDriver". I am currently working with a New York City singer/songwriter named Nikki Shannon. You can hear her music on Myspace/Nikki Sahnnon.
I've met a lot of well known people in the music business and I am friends with a sessions drummer named Bernard Perdie who is the most recorded drummer in the world.
Life after the fire service is now filled with music and art. I started painting again and now have a website showing my work. The Classsmates site doesn't allow you to post other websites so I will leave out the parts you alreay know and just give you the main site name. It is streetcornerviewsnyc. I hope you like what you see. Looking to hear from other classmates. Most of my music performances are here in NJ and in NYC. Email me if you are interested in coming to a show.
