Living a quiet life with my love near the waters of Puget Sound, except when I'm somewhere else.  But I usually have my guitar nearby to keep me company, and occasionally it leads me to a new song. 

Would love to start collaborating with others.  If you are so inclined, don't hesitate to message me.
 
Thank you all for sharing!   

I surprise a handful of Soundclouders with a profile on what inspires me about their work.  What excites me most is that other people have started to tell the stories of the people artists who inspire them through the "One Million Stories" project we created.   

We also started a Dance Party in our house every night where we throw up a Soundcloud DJ set and my wife, three kids dance, in-laws and I dance together for 30 minutes.  Since we are having so much fun, we plan on inviting guest DJs to work live and broadcast the parties live on Youtube so other families can participate.  

Life is a constant creation.
