About Me

Composer/pianist. I was born in Minneapolis and I am still here although the cold will kill us all eventually. I stay here for the people, the most important of whom is my 10 year old son, Sam. He has perfect pitch and already writes music, although just now he is more interested in hockey. I work with two different bands - the Small City Trio and the NOWnet. I am honored to play in both. I am the artistic director for Jazz is NOW - a non-profit organization dedicated to performing original music.
