I am a producer, multi-instrumentalist, songwriter, conductor, singer, educator, film score composer, and performe. I am originally from Summersville, West Virginia.
The transfer of energy between humans through the deeply spiritual non-spoken conduit of music is my inspiration. My entire lifetime has been spent in perpetual search for that wonderful, fulfilling, and very real energy. The music that inspires me most is Rock. Blues, Funk, R&B, Soul, Bluegrass, and Jazz are huge for me too.
My first performance was Halloween '88. I received a BA in Music in '95. Until Coronavirus hit, I was playing roughly 90 to 120 shows every year. A burning desire to support myself through music while living in a rural area has led to me playing in a dizzying array of groups and on just about every instrument one can think of, including voice.
