I have performed live, but I've been out of the loop for a few years. I just love that feeling of being part of a musical family, people who are really passionate, dedicated to writing the best stuff they can, and having fun.

I listen to all kinds of music. I don't believe in restricting myself to any one type. All music influences me in some way, but some of my favorites are: Black Crowes, Bee Gees, Led Zeppelin, Queen, Foreigner, New Earth Mud, Vince Gill, Sting, Thin Lizzy, Bonnie Raitt, Ry Cooder, Guns N Roses, Julie Miller...

Austin, Texas is IT. I lived there for 3 months, and it absolutely lives up to it's name "Live Music Capital of the World". There is music on practically every corner, and even the restaurants usually have a live band playing. Check out historic E. 6th Street for wall to wall to music.

I'm also a screenwriter with several scripts to my credit, and this year I began preproduction on my first feature film "Dearest". Many of my scripts have placed in competition. I've written 2 short radio scripts for Wynton Marsalis for his Lincoln Center Jazz Orchestra. Those programs aired on Delta Airlines flights.
