I am a Semi-Professional Singer/Songwriter/Guitarist/Bassist and resident of Makakilo, Hawai'i. Originally from Wisconsin, I started out in original and cover punk and alt rock bands (Lead Vocals/Bass) in the 1980's touring mainly throughout the Midwest US. After moving to San Diego, California in 1996 I started working as a Singer/Songwriter and Guitarist playing mainly acoustic shows throughout So Cal. My style has often been described as "Alternative Folk or Punk Folk" I was also heavily involved in the Third Wave SoCal Ska movement in the late 90's. In the past I have also worked semi-professionally as a studio musician (Guitar, Bass, Vocals) and have had recording contracts with N*Soul/Ecclectica Records (Los Angeles, CA), & Soul Joy Records (Austin, TX).
"Skantified" was released in 1998 as part of the Third Wave Ska movement while I was living in San Diego, CA. This was my goofy techno version of ska. It was distributed and sold worldwide by Ecclectica Records.
"Fear of Bridges" came out on Soul Joy Records in 1999. This collection of home recorded and mastered demos was an acoustic Celtic Christian Alt project. Selling mainly in the United States, Europe and is now OOP.

Since moving to Hawai'i in 2010 I have been involved in few different projects including doing session work at neighboring studios, working with local "80's" gothic punk band "Live Star Nation," and the punk folk "Dustman Project." I am always open to new opportunities whether in the studio, live band, collaboration, or acoustic duo/trio.
