I've been playing music since I was twelve years old.Since that time I've played with literally hundreds of bands(Tower of Power,Buddy Guy,John lee Hooker,Buddy Miles,Jr.wells,Jr.Walker and many other national and North West artists).I have also spent a lot of time in the recording studio.Recording for many different artits.You can hear me on several Dave Lanz CD's(Skyline/Fire dance,Sacred Road,are the latest).I also played on the computer animated video "The Minds Eye"and have played on many other peoples projects.
Playing music for a living has taken me all over the world and I've been blessed to have always been surrounded by top shelf musicians,many of who have gone on to be nationally known artists.
I started writing music at a young age.I love to be able to express myself through music.
I've written many songs for other artists who have had some relative success on local radio and television.To me there is nothing more powerful then a good message put to music.That is why I wrote the songs on my latest CD "Peace in trhe Storm". With the way the world is headed now I truly believe that we all must draw close and call on GOD for his wisdom,power,and mercy.I sincerely hope that while listening to this music that you will feel GODS presence and his Grace.That it will help you find a peace that passes all understanding.GOD bless you,
