About Me

My first love is music and I enjoy composing piano music in particular. My strongest influences are composers of the late 19th century. I've been playing and performing since I was 6 years of age. Marimba first, then Piano.
I own and operate my own business in New Jersey which is a "kingdom" that makes literally anything worth while quite a challenge. It's a private detective business. Contrary to many predisposed notions, I don't specialize in the surveillance of straying spouses. Most of my practice is focused on forensic investigation concerning criminal activity and death investigation.
I lead a dual existence in that I tend to spend my time split between two quite unrelated disciplines.
On the one hand, I often can't resist a piano keyboard's enticement to have me sit and compose for hours till I look up and see it's 04:00 am. All the while, I'm weary from being over booked on my business assignments which are more substantially rooted in the sciences and legal matters. I need a 48 hour day!

I'd like to meet:

A brave woman who wants to share time and the important things in life with me.

Composers, Musicians, Visionaries and Revolutionaries. Other creative, environmentally conscious, politically aware and otherwise stimulating people.

Music & the fine arts and most true sciences move me the deepest,

closely followed by getting to know those who are skilled at identifying and becoming active against: political corruption, pay to play, environmentally unconcerned businesses/lobbyists, ignorant politicians, oblivious/apathetic individuals and the like. If you'd like to make a difference, start by paying attention to the real issues and applying the time or expertise you have to offer.

Television:

A virtual wasteland excluding some programming from the Discovery Channel, History Channel, Science Channel, Old Film Classics and the Sundance Channel.

Books:

The list would break this thing .... ask me instead

Heroes:

I won't concede to labeling anyone a "hero" except for my amazing Mom and Dad.

However I would credit certain notable's as influences in my life in one way or another and/or whom I hold in high regard (aside from my family and in no particular order):

Frederic Chopin, Ludwig von Beethoven, Bela Bartok, Serge Rachmaninoff, J. S. Bach, Joan of Arc, Thomas Jefferson, John Adams, Jim Garrison, William Wallace, Che Guevara, Indira Gandhi, Robert Oppenheimer, Peter Sellers, Leonardo Da Vinci, Andreas Vesalius, Johannes Kepler, Dian Fossey, Oscar Peterson, Art Tatum, Sitting Bull, Carl Sagan, Marie Curie, Keith Emerson, Humphrey Bogart, Antonio Vivaldi and yes on occasion Atilla the Hun.

The dominion of New Jersey is not what it used to be.

I used to love New Jersey as a kid. Back then, you could always go for a short drive and find a peaceful wooded area that didn't appear to be threatened by brimming supermarkets, the glut of mall traf...
