I originally began my writing career as a songwriter in 1974 while working as a professional musician based out of Nevada County, California. I always felt drawn to storytelling and much of my songwriting reflected this by taking form as "story-songs," predominantly focused on lyric and melody. I worked as a professional musician for 15 years, going through many genres and styles, from folk to jazz to rock 'n' roll.

I recorded my first album, “Dancer,” in 1985.

I, now, perform my original music as well as traditional folk, jazz standards and popular songs.

Check out some of my songs from the "Dancer" album, also available for purchase on my MySpace page.

Here is a sample song from my new album entitled "Pearl of Moon"
