folk/filk singer songwriter, award-winning science fiction writer, freelance journalist

A  strong background in commercial music,
three (3) years performing in the Holland America Line Cruise ship Industry, over ten (10) years Contemporary Church music, two years (2) performing musical theatre at Sinclair College
and 
one year  with America Entertainment Productions (AEP), these musical experiences are part of my performance background.

My education started at Wright State, then transferred to Belmont University to finish Bachelor’s degree (Commercial Music w/Percussion performance degree).  

Before doing the Cruise ship gig, I went to University of Dayton and Eastman School of music for Graduate study, earning credits transferring to Eastern Kentucky University, where I finished a Master’s degree (M. M.) in General Music.

I finished a Masters degree in Jazz this year (2019) - main concentration right now.  Performance & Pedagogy are part of the program.  UAM has a great jazz program ! 

I'm working on  a Jazz project, recording & writing music (Film), and performing live music.
