Mostly, I’m a writer.

My everyday goal is to find something pretty to write about. But when you’re a recovering alcoholic/addict - everything is pretty. Songs that sound sad to you might make me quite happy.

I like the process because it’s never the same - the idea shows up & it’s time to go.

Everyone should write songs.

I am also blessed to have survived a serious industrial accident back in 2000. It was long ago, so I prefer not to dwell on it, but I did lose my right arm at the wrist. Surgery renewed my musical journey & I’m most proud of my playing. I have a distinct percussive style that can only be my own; considering the limitations. So from here it’s easy - I released my first album and have another on the way.

I have beautiful people in my life and I thrive on their encouragement. Someone important in the industry gave me some advice I needed to hear..not every body will like my music but the ones that do will love it. I’m okay with that.
