"I love music."


I'm happy to be a musician after leaving the corporate world behind. Now I play in bands and host radio programs.

I like to hike in the woods and mountains. I go to the Blue Ridge Parkway almost yearly.

I enjoy travel, especially when combined with music activities. Attending the Ricochet Gathering as a musician has taken me to the Okefenokee Swamp, the Mojave Desert, Dresden, Jelenia Gora, Canary Islands, Tuscany, Yelloestone/Bozeman, and Transylvania in Romania.

Music
I like making music from the ground up. I like learning cover songs as well as composing and arranging. Rehearsing can be fun, but the biggest kick is performing for a crowd. I also like the recording process where I can really make artistic statements. I have very eclectic and wide ranging tastes from classical to pop to rock to Celtic to electronic and beyond. Perhaps this is due to my being a musician who is exposed to many types of music. My deepest interests currently are in Progressive Rock and Electronic music. Adventurous music that you typically don't hear on commercial radio is what floats my boat.
Happiest When
I am happiest when I am making music with friends.
