The contents here are a mix of biographical writings and recorded examples of my various music projects.

As a student myself, I have been very interested in understanding the background of my teachers, mentors, and heroes. I hope these pages will be of interest to my students as they develop their own musical and personal identities and predictably compare their experiences to mine.

The links in the side-bar to the left go through my musical experiences in some detail complete with music samples from my published recordings and more.
