Vocals, Mandolin, Acoustic Guitar, Harmonica, Percussion

I've been a music lover my whole life.  As a kid, I'd ride my bike around for hours listening to American Top 40 on my big radio headset. While I've loved music my whole life, only later in life as an adult did I take up musical instruments.  It has opened a whole new world of musical enjoyment and fulfillment. Acoustic arrangements and performances are my preference, where the nuances of vocal harmonies and instruments can be heard and appreciated.  

I've been privileged to play with a number of great local musicians in the community, and have played in bands that include "Not Half Bad", a pick up band that played mostly 60's hits, "One Waypoint", a crossover praise band that has a self-titled CD on Spotify, "Thrive", Grace UMC's blended worship team, and "The Front Porch Rockers".  I've admired the talent of the guys in FPR, both individually and collectively, for some time and I'm excited to be performing with them.

I would be remiss if I didn't acknowledge my family and friends who support and encourage me as I continue to develop musically.
