I was raised in the Northwest, swimming in lakes and climbing trees in rich, beautiful green forests. I loved having the mountains always on the horizons all around me. I've had a love of music for as far back as I can remember. My sister has always been very musical and she was a big influence on me early- always encouraging me to sing and play along with her and her guitar. "Country Roads" and "House of the Rising Sun" were a couple of our favorites. I picked up various instruments over the years - I even played my face when nothing else was around for me to play. It's a hidden talent that will probably stay so - though I still do it now and then when no one's around. Music has sent me on various journeys over the years. It's been a long trip that's brought me through school jazz bands, a Portland Oregon punk band (the Stoopid Chemists, for the curious), and on to New York where I've been involved with various music projects over the passed few years. After years of performing in bands, I've decided to take on a solo mission. The songs here are the result of my endeavor...
