Born in the 60's, came of age during the golden age of rock, influenced by roots rockers like Johnny Cash and Jim Croce, classic rock legends like The Beatles, Led Zeppelin, and Jethro Tull, and many other musical talents. I appreciate many genres.
SONGWRITER/COMPOSER: Started writing songs in my teens, and once I picked up the guitar, I never stopped.
GUITAR PLAYER, MULTI-INSTRUMENTALIST, COLLABORATOR: Guitar is my main instrument, but thanks to the power of the Digital Audio Workstation, I can incorporate many instruments into my music. I also love to collaborate with other musicians and often have guest players on my tracks.
HOME STUDIO PROFESSIONAL: Bought my first Tascam 4-track cassette recorder back in 1993 and have been creating home-brewed music ever since.
LATE-BLOOMER: While I dabbled in music for sheer joy from a young age, I only got serious about striving for masterpiece quality production in my 50's. I released my first EP, Keeping the Dream Alive (currently out of print), in 2014, and first full length album, A Light in the Darkness (featured on the home page of this site), in 2025. Toiling away on a new EP I intend to release this year (keep that momentum going, I think I'll call it Just Gettin' Started). I want to encourage anyone at any age to up their game and have at it - it's never too late! Keep that dream alive.
PROFESSIONAL: I've spent nearly four decades in IT management, rising to the level of Chief Information Officer and Chief Information Security Officer. It was my honor to have received the Info-Tech CIO Award twice. It was a privilege to be in a position to help people grow as professionals, to give opportunity to (i.e. hire) capable individuals, and to promote many worthy individuals who had proven their value and earned it.
