I find myself wearing many hats - songwriter, producer, arranger, graphic designer, engineer, repairman, web designer, animator. I'm crazy about new gear and strange sounds. I'm originally from Southern California but have been settled in New England for about 15 years. I live in a great two story house where I can make all the noise, uh... music, I need .
I've been interested in music since the Beatles first came over and have worked with multitrack audio since the middle 70's. I have acquired an amazing amount of equipment with which to stretch, bend and warp sounds. I love to mix styles, sounds, and textures to come up with something original. I'm not anywhere near being a purist when it comes to genres. I like to take a pop feel (for the flow) and introduce different sonic elements into it (for interest and uniqueness). I plan to experiment more with synth and dance beats in the future.

I also put together CD album package one-offs for songwriters who want to show and shop their demos or finished songs. I create the graphics, sequence and "lite"-master the songs, make the book, label, and tray, and record a CDR. Occasionally I'll have help in the studio from a trusted songwriter associate.
My songs are now represented on the websites: Backstage Commerce, Amazon, Peacework Music, Sonic Soup Music, Blast My Music, Create Space, Indie Charts, Myspace, Snocap ZonicZoup, PureVolume, Amie Street, Facebook, Twitter, and others.
I have won, with Steve Jansen, the SOWI award for best lyrics for Caribbean Magic.
Aside from the obvious musical interests I collect books by and about Stephen King, write some poetry, and get in the wind on my 60's style Harley lowrider to air out the cobwebs in my brain...
