Hello and thank you for visiting my website. I am here to provide you with not only music that I have played throughout my career but also music that I've taught myself how to play and like to listen to and enjoy. I am also starting to record my originals that I've had stockpiled for years. They will be released every few months or so. 

 
Here are some facts about me:
