Ted started playing drums at the age of 13 and started playing professionally at the age of 14 in local clubs in Rhode Island.
By the age of 16 he was playing all over the North East from New York to Main in an original Rock Opera his cousin George Leonard wrote, and yes, while still attending high school.
Somehow, by a magical effort, Ted graduated high school while playing music until 1:00 or 2:00 in the morning and getting up at 7:15 AM for school.
Not long after, Ted then left the music business for the family business. He spent 23 years or so in the automotive business and yes, of course, several different cover bands along the way.
In March of 1999 Ted decided to leave the family business and moved to Prescott Arizona. Here he played in a few bands but in 2002 decided to start a sound company called Prescott Pro Sound.
As time went on, studying intensively the art of sound, the business gained local notoriety and 19 years later, Prescott Pro Sound has become a well-respected full production company providing sound, lighting, video, and streaming services.
Is there a lot more to the story? Ted says yes, of course. He's happy to talk with you about it over a cup of coffee, or on this podcast, but for now, he says he'll see you at the next event for sure!! Cheers !!
