Welcome to the site. I hope you’ll enjoy some of these songs generally on the themes of Faith, Family & Friends.

I was very pleased to hear that "It's A Beautiful Day" was chosen as an Honor Award winner in the 2007 Great American Song Contest! Special thanks to Steve Sledge who did a wonderful job on the demo!

Do you play live?
Yes, I play guitar and sing once a month on a worship team at Santa Clara Valley Japanese Christian Church in Campbell, CA. Do I like it? - Absolutely! Every practice and Sunday morning worship is special. It is a real joy to serve the Lord in this way.
How, do you think, does the internet (or mp3) change the music industry?
I've been writing songs for 30 years with only occasional opportunities to share them with others. The internet changes this and also gives me a chance to meet other hobbyist and professional writers as well. Now there's a new tool called iCandy that's pretty cool. It connects the real world with the virtual by allowing you to print cards like the one on my profile page that includes a barcode link to your song or homepage. Click on the icandy image below to learn more!

I recently started blogging about iCandy so you can check my blog page for more info as well!
Would you sign a record contract with a major label?
Of course! But that will never happen! I'm not a great musician but I do enjoy writing songs and sharing them with friends and family. Now, if someone was interested in recording one of my songs - that would be cool! So, if you like something here and would like to record or perform one of my songs drop me a line. I'd love to hear from you!
Equipment used:
I record at my home using Garage Band typically with kids screaming in the background to guarantee an optimal audio experience!
Anything else...?
Thanks for Visiting!
