I've loved music my entire life. Eventually I started writing and playing-- both on my own and with others. After a while, I came up with a few recordings of which I'm proud. I hope you enjoy them as well. When I recorded most of these songs, I assumed they would be heard by less then 25 people: my circle of select friends, family, and fellow musicians. I never imagined they'd be available to strangers via the internet. I'm gratified by the response my music has received-- especially when one considers the high caliber of musical talent that exists on this and other original music sites.

My music can approximately be described as post-industrial surburban ragtime, with surf sidetones. I grew up on Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers, The Cars, Dire Straits, and Elton John. Regrettably, my music doesn’t readily reflect that. But I think the greatest influence has been the people I’ve worked with over the years. I’ve learned a lot by watching others develop their ideas. I can’t say I sound like anyone I’ve ever worked with-- but their influence is certainly present.
