I began singing and playing in front of others as a trombone student in college. I've been playing requests and original songs in a corner bar in our college town every week for the past 13 years, playing other locations from churches to breweries regularly too. After graduating school my wife and I went to the Huron Mountains to build a house and raise our 3 children. Now that the house is mostly functional and the children are old enough to fry their own tortillas, my plan is to travel regionally on a regular basis, and nationally now and then as I am called.

I sometimes wonder why I chose the life of a musician, to major in music in college, to study song after song. But I do know that everywhere I look I see and hear reasons and logic that tell me that people are to be separated and compared, and put together in groups and so on, but in my heart I know that we are all one. Music is the most powerful tool I have known to cut through the labels and divisions our minds attach. My greatest goal in life is to allow this healing to be revealed in myself and everyone I encounter!
