Life and career

Regan was born in Poughkeepsie, New York, on October 28, 1951. In the early 1990s, Regan was a parks commissioner for the village of Wappingers Falls. In 2006, Peter Frampton played outdoors in Wappingers Falls with Regan for local residents.

Beginning in 2014, he co-hosted a Sunday morning radio show called Cafe Italia on 1450AM WKIP out of Poughkeepsie. "We kicked around the possibility of a weekly radio program that focused on these timeless artists, their connection to Italian music and culture, and generally a show that would pay homage to the songs that are the "soundtrack" to many of our lives."

Regan was part of the band Four By Fate, which saw him reunite with former Frehley's Comet co-frontman Tod Howarth. They recorded an album together, Relentless (2016). Regan also toured with Howarth as "Return of the Comet" in

Regan died at his home in Wappingers Falls, New York, on April 7, 2023, at the age of 71.
