PROFILE SONG: Let You Down

BACKGROUND:
I was born and raised in Portland, Oregon, and went to college at the University of Portland... I love the Pacific Northwest, and never miss an opportunity to go back and visit!
I moved to Los Angeles in 2005 to take a new gig. Before that I was mainly playing in blues bands from the Pacific Northwest, and a couple pop-rock bands from Portland. I have been playing piano since I was 6, and keyboards and saxophone professionally for about 7 years now. See below for my latest projects and recordings.
I have extensive experience in the studio and on stage, and am often available for writing, performing, touring, and recording. Just send me a message here and we'll make it work!
My main project these days is a collaboration with Matt Szlachetka, Kane McGee, and Paris Patt - The Northstar Session.

GREAT QUOTE:
"If I were 21 I would walk the earth. I would go barefoot longer; I'd learn how to throw a Frisbee, I'd go braless if I were a woman and I would wear no underwear if I were a man. I'd play cards and wear the same pair of jeans until they were so stiff they could get up and strut around the room by themselves....So don't take the short road. Fool around. Have fun...You're not going to get this time back. Don't panic and go to graduate school and law school. This nation has enough frightened, dissatisfied yuppies living in gated communities, driving S.U.V.'s and wondering where their youth went. We need you to walk the earth, so that other nations can see the beauty of American youth, rather than seeing our young in combat fatigues behind the barrel of an M-16."
