Thanks for stopping by.
I am a long time musician (bassist). I play electric and acoustic guitar as well and I like all types of music from heavy metal to smooth jazz, new-wave to classical, and I am a big fan of new alternative music (dream-pop, indie-pop, etc…) particularly anything thought provoking.
I appreciate all forms of art, but especially music. I despise conceit, pretentiousness, and all of that nonsense... So if you are full of it, move on!
I do not write music to be complicated or simplistic, I write what "I" feel at the time. If one or the other comes out, than to me that is the true art of creation, because it is natural. Sometimes I’ll write a song that comes in minutes to hours, other times weeks to months.
I enjoy reading (fantasy, fiction, drama, history [political and cultural]) and spending time on the Oregon Coast is one of my favorite places to relax and allow the creative process to flow through me.
Currently working on a new set of songs in my home recording studio. I am always open to collaborating in any way (music, art, writing, etc…) so hit me up.
In the immortal words of Jim Morrison: "I think of myself as an intelligent, sensitive human being with the soul of a clown which always forces me to blow it at the most important moments."
boring stuff…
I absolutely love good food & drink (primarily beer and wine - Black coffee, red wine, and cheap beer (although I love a good Guinness) are my favorite beverages). I have a palate for Italian, Mexican, Indian and Greek food.
(In my day job I work in the healthcare software industry as a Support Director. More about that on LinkedIn, if interested).
