Many people know me as a recording engineer, a music teacher and as the founder of Last Stop Records. I'm also a singer, composer and multi-instrumentalist.
In 2017, I released 'Desire Paths' which is available worldwide through the usual digital outlets.
For many years, I have enjoyed the privilege of recording creative albums and playing in diverse and challenging musical groups. I was born and raised in San Francisco, but I have lived in Spokane, Los Angeles, Marin County and Boston. Between gigs, I earned a bachelor's degree from Berklee College of Music in 1994.
Having grown up in the 70's & 80's I heard everything that was on radio and eventually MTV, also listening to global superstars the likes of Pink Floyd, Rush, Sabbath, Madien, ect.... I'm a huge fan of American bands with hard rock roots like Alice In Chains, Clutch, Tool, System of a Down, Faith No More... You will find everything from Buckethead, Primus, Black Cobra, Jellyfish, Witchcraft, Earthless, and Jeff Beck in my recent plays folder. I grew up buying records, then cassettes and tons of CD's, which I still have.
The years I spent playing at Secret Studios with San Francisco band Black-Tape produced two albums of heavy rock music.
I'm always performing around town with Tall Shadows playing the classic rock songbook.
In the digital age, I have released four albums of my singer/songwriter material with Last Stop Records. (BLUEPRINT, Sad Songs and Dedications, The Ghost of Electricity and Desire Paths) I love ROCK 'N ROLL..... I have always been fascinated by the lyrics of Bob Dylan. I think Neil Young is one of the finest songwriters and performing artists of our time. Ryan Adams, Jason Falkner, Killian MacGeraghty... I'm a huge fan. I'm always working on new stuff and so I have dozens of unreleased songs that are in some stage of the recording process. Thanks to my fans for purchasing albums on iTunes, Bandcamp & Cdbaby.
Soundtracks is a collection of instrumental works I composed and produced in a few years time. Many hours were labored to put together this special album of emotional melodies and modern composition. A milestone in my musical evolution.
In 2009, "Near Wandering" was licenced for the film Dumping Lisa. It also appears on the Soundtracks album 2011.
Back in the 90's I was a founding member of Boston based rock band Ten To Six. Our album CLOCKWORK is available at the usual digital outlets.
In recent years I discovered circuit bending and have built and/or modified a bunch of electronic toys with my own artistic slant. My you tube channel has well over 1.5 Million views!
