About The Doctor
(Top Expert on this page)

Expertise
My credentials rank high in the Floyd community. I can answer just about anything relating to the band and their music. I've been able to answer many questions where the other Floyd experts have failed to answer or answer correctly. Rest assured, you'll get a thorough answer usually within hours, not days.

Experience
I've been an avid Floyd fan for almost 30 years, since I was 8 years old. The sounds and sights of Floyd have a huge effect on my life. I'm a Radio Personality in Boston for a legendary rock station, WAAF as well as host and producer of the first and only Pink Floyd podcast called "Brain Damage - the definitive Pink Floyd radio show."
