I've been a hand drummer for over 15 years, enjoy photography and have been exploring other creative forms and outlets for a long time.

Founder of Merry Meets and Blessed Beats (Fox Valley) Drum Circle, Co-Organizer for Sacred Heartbeat Drum Circle and Explore Your World (Digital Photography) groups.

Spiritually the draw and call of Earth Centered traditions has had a deep resonnance and connection with me. I also have studied, practiced and incorporate traditions drawn from multiple sources.

Community, family, shared visions ways of inter-relating and celebrating the diversity found down here in Earth School have a very special place of honor for me.

I'm a single fulltime father, my two teenage daughters are amazing young women who keep proving the rule that genious skips a generation. They also prove that the apples and acorns don't fall far from the tree. My eldest will be graduating High School on May 20th this year, my youngest will be a Junior next year.

I'm starting to downshift and reprioritize my personal life, including starting up my own new venture Mummers Drum after 30+ years in Telecom. Am about ready to launch, it's something that's been germinating and putting down roots for a few years. More details, updates, etc forthcoming soon.

I'm also venturing forth with a new endeavor, Bent Light Photography, to share my creative works and artistic visions, along with accepting commissions or personal photo shoots. Will share more on this once it's ready to launch.
