CURRENT MISSION

To write great stories and sing them, meet great people and know them.

ABOUT ME

I have sensitive ears, a diverse palette, and good balance. Comfort and security are important to me but not so important that I shun adventure. A retired skater, occasional bicycler, active and gigging guitarist and writer.

PHILOSOPHY

The body is a temple. Live in balance and seek the state of flow.
