Musician for as long as I can remember, In college at Notre Dame I played in several bands including First Friday. We recorded in 1969 on Webster's Last Word Records and later at King records in Nashville, though King went out of business before our album was published. After a successful career I began to work for the Catholic Church and as Deacon I began to get caught up in the daily praying of the Psalms. I led a musical group called Spirit Song for years at my parish Saint Edward the Confessor. I began to blend my love for folk and for rock with the psalms and songs of liturgy and so began to compose musical settings for liturgy. Humble Beginnings, It All comes Down to Grace and Home Made Home Grown are three albums that include my spirit-faith compositions. I also continue to compose and play folk and rock music with my lifetime band First Friday and hope to release some music in the rock genre soon. I am married to Karin we have a son Jesse and a daughter Shannon.
