Simple songs for complex emotions. Searching for images that elicit a thousand words. Voracious reader. Sporadic writer. Eager traveler. Good for a goon squad or philosophical discussions. Always up for a bit of mischief.

I am the middle son of a Ford foundry man and a nurses assistant. A former English major, I have enjoyed a 30+ year career in the sciences. I have been fortunate for the opportunity to travel and spend most of my adult life in cities, towns and communities all across the globe. I always make a point to seek out independent bookstores, guitar shops, local musicians and regional haunts wherever I go. In addition to plying my musical trade on stages across the United States, I’ve been coaxed on stage and shared breakfast with street musicians in Sweden. I’ve swapped songs with fellow songwriters in Western Canada. I’ve joined buskers in Eastern Canada. Everywhere I go I take loads of photographs, look for the best greasy spoons, seek out conversations with the locals, take copious notes, and swap mementos.

Thank you for taking the time to visit, and for your interest in my creative endeavors.
