About Me
Husband and father. I am lucky to have a great family. My wife and kids are the best thing about my life. I continue the quest for more knowledge and deeper understanding.Over the past 30 years, I've participated in a number of music, film, video game soundtrack, TV, and commercial projects in various capacities.
