About Me

Born and raised in this wonderful state of Colorado. Attended high school in Englewood Colorado. Thank God I have a day Job as a firefighter for Littleton Fire Rescue! I was heavily influenced by the likes of James Taylor, Jackson Brown, Elvin Bishop, Jim Croce, Stephen Stills,CSN&Y...from that era. Now I have a great appreciation for folks like Shawn Mullins, Amos Lee, John Prine, John Meyer, Jack Johnson, Wendy Woo, Angie Stephens, John Erlandson,Ken K, Dave Middleton, Russ Griffin ...and a host of other Indie artists as well. I have a very arrhythmic style coupled to a rather ecclectic genre in the tunes I turn out from time to time. I've opened for a few cool folks such as POCO and Firefall recently...Ty Herndon...The Coasters too!! I like playing any venue where there is a good listening crowd. Sometimes it's tough to play in the bars where you are competing with fifteen sports channels...not so much that folks don't listen....but I get wrapped up in the games too!! Hope to see you out there sometime...please stop me and say hello... If I'm not around...I'm probably throwin' flies at crafty ol' trout with my son Ben. Get your own
