Playing guitar and singing since the age of 12, Billy has been performing live with different St. Louis bands since the age of 18 along with writing and recording. Through the years finding himself learning to play keyboards and bass guitar. Joining Thunderhead in January of 2010, Billy now finds himself using all of his talents in one band along with using his feet to play the bass pedals. Just as Geddy Lee would do. "The challenge of trying to emulate Geddy Lee is by far the greatest and coolest challenges I have ever faced as a musician and I am honored to take on this challenge with two very talented men who share the same vision. Each song is a whole new "Everest" to conquer".

​

​       Billy plays the Geddy Lee Fender Jazz Signature Bass along with the many other tools that Geddy uses and works hard at trying to reproduce every note, vocally and instrumentally, just as you would hear on the studio records. "I have been a fan of RUSH since I first heard them in 1977 and to this day, I am still amazed with every album they put out".
