This is the part where I am supposed to tell you something about me. I could make up some western ghost story but that would grow old real quick. I will tell you that I have been around music my entire life. Since the first moment I can remember I was singing or playing around with something. As a child, no toy could not be converted into a microphone at a moments notice. Brooms and tennis rackets had the best tone.

My father is a musician and being around that environment from so young and always having guitars, drums, keyboards and stuff laying around was great because I was able to goof off on whatever was handy at the moment. Not to mention the moment I discovered power chords on my grandmother's Wurlitzer organ!

Fast forward to now...

The pages you see and the sounds you hear are a reflection of my musical addiction. I have been involved in countless recording sessions and live shows over the years, but I wanted a place to put the stuff that I do myself here at home. I have a small home studio where I am able to record whenever and whatever (comical or otherwise!). The songs on this site are not going to make George Martin jealous in terms of production quality that's for sure, but understand that I record this stuff really fast. Sometimes I never quite get the tone dialed in before I find that I've already been tracking so I usually just leave it. Sometimes it comes out ok and other times it just comes out. Anyway, I'm really more interested in getting the idea down first. You can always re-record!

I'm influenced musically by so many other things that to list them would take way more typing than is legally safe. In the interest of public safety I will have to sum it up by saying that I find all things inspiring. Even the worst stuff in the world can be a great lesson in what not to do! Maybe some these influences are obvious, but many are not.

Please let me know you thoughts and opinions and thank you for checking out my site!
