I am a father to my two beautiful daughters, Julia, 10 and Lacie, 8. That is my primary focus in life. Being there for my friends and family is what I am about.

Musically, I am a  singer, songwriter, guitarist, and performer working and teaching Music in Pacifica, CA. I have had the honor of working with some of the greatest talents in the business. Some recognized and rewarded by the industry with platinum and gold records and some of them living in obscurity. I have learned so much from them all.  

   One of the greatest thrills of my life is to have my songs play on the radio. I was driving along once listening to the radio and heard a song I wrote start to play. I pulled over to the side of the road and just sat there in ah. I thought back to a time as a kid sitting alone in my room writing a song with only the hopes to play it on my guitar for a friend. And then to know that thousands of ears were hearing it. How cool.
I have worked with Dave MacKechnie and have been so blessed to have had him as a mentor, teacher and friend. Our song “Haulin’ Mistletoe” was picked up by MCA Records and plays every year around the Christmas holiday on radio stations across the country.  Dave has had songs recorded by John Denver, Kenny Rogers, and most recently by Martina McBride.

   Another songwriting partner and friend is Michael Jarett. An absolute phenomenal keyboardist and songwriter. Elvis Presley recorded two of his songs. I started playing guitar and singing as a kid completely influenced by Elvis. And to be blessed years later working with one of his songwriters. What a gas and thrill to hear his stories.  

   Some of my songs have been recorded by several artists including Bobby Hendricks, of the Drifters and soul singer, Jerry Brooks. Kristy Lee Cook from American Idol fame recorded a couple of songs we wrote for her.

   My passion is singing,  songwriting, and teaching, but I also love to perform and play guitar. Although I write in many styles, my heart is in rhythm and blues.
