Born and raised in Southern California, I began playing music in the early 60’s as the drummer in a garage band performing surf tunes and rock ‘n roll at parties and dances. I became interested in the guitar about the same time and, influenced by the folk and rock music of the period, was writing and performing original songs by the Junior year of high school.


After serving in the army then returning home for a few years, I moved to Washington State in 1974 for a different perspective on life than Los Angeles had to offer. There, I became acquainted with country music. In the 1980’s I performed at numerous clubs, lounges and events throughout Okanogan County as a single act, in various duos and as a member of the band Mountain Depot.


Always impressed by the solo efforts of Emitt Rhodes and Paul McCartney, I invested in a Tascam 244 PortaStudio-based home recording facility in 1982 to put my music into recordings. While studying recording engineering I began to record demos for local artists and bands.


In 1989 I acquired an Atari 1040st computer to embellish my recordings with sequencing and to create cover art for distribution cassettes. From there the studio has continued to grow.


Presently living on a modest ranch in the striking high desert of Tularosa Basin in New Mexico, I continue to write and record music. My musical styles range from the Blues to Western, from ballad to rock.
