This is my musical notepad and most of these are works in progress. I'm a guitarist|bassist|composer. I've been a home recording enthusiast for 30 years, writing & producing my own original instrumental guitar music & a few other projects and oddities for others. All that follows is entirely my fault unless otherwise noted.

I'm a guitarist, vocalist, pianist, song writer, engineer, and producer. I live every day within a creative space inside my own mind. I am very content and satisfied with how music fits into my life, and conversely, how I have fit myself into a life of making music. 

My musical ambitions are fairly widespread and I've dedicated my entire life to making music. I'm not sure how that will affect me but that's part of the beauty of the idea itself. I would like to leave a long trail of music behind me for when I am gone but not for any other reason than that will be the by-product of me living a creative life here on Earth. That is what I know to be the best way to spend my life and I feel that is my purpose here and why I have the specific talents and abilities that I have.

I write and record music to make myself happy. I know myself as a musician better than anything else in the world. I am happy to share the music that comes through me with anyone who would like to have a listen.

My solo work is experimental/psychedelic rock and leans heavily on introspective lyrics, conceptualized musical ideas, and unconventional recording and mixing techniques. I recorded and released my first album called "Pushing The Air Around Us" in September 2013 and I'm gathering ideas for a new album.

The 'Black Heart Thieves' is a band I started that's a blend of eclectic avant-garde riffs mixed with bluesy desert rock sounds and pop song structures.
