About Me

Ladies and Gentlemen. The time has finally come that I start work on my first album. It's been a long time coming, I know. I'll keep you posted!!
I was raised in San Diego, Virginia, and New Hampshire. I settled in Vermont where I went to college and have been here and loving it ever since.
I have worked at the coolest radio station in Vermont, worked with people experiencing homelessness in my community, I have worked with the refugee program in Vermont, as well as the Vermont workers center, and many campaigns and organizations in Vermont that promote social justice.
My music is a reflection of the way I view the world and all of its complexities. I believe music is profound in so many ways, especially the message and influence it can have on others. I feel that music is such a great form of communication. I hope my listeners appreciate what I have to say.
Cheers

"Where wisdom is called for, force is of little use" Herodotus, Histories 5th Century B.C.
"I am not only a pacifist but a militant pacifist. I am willing to fight for peace. Nothing will end war unless the people themselves refuse to go to war." Albert Einstein
"The World is a dangerous place, not because of those who do evil, but because of those who look on and do nothing." Albert Einstein
"Man was born Free, and everywhere he is in chains." Jean Jacques Rousseau, The Social Construct 1762
"It isn't that they can't see the solution. It is that they can't see the problem." G.K Chesterton, 1935
"No problem can be solved from the same level of consciousness that created it." Albert Einstein

"Look deep into nature, and then you will understand everything better." Albert Einstein

"When the rich wage war, it is the poor who die." Jean-Paul Satre, 1951
"Poverty is the parent of revolution and crime" Aristotle, Politics, 4th Century B.C.
"The more humanity owes the poor man, the more society denies him. Every door is shut against him, even when he has the right to its being opened: and if he ever obtains justice, it is with much greater difficulty than others obtain favors." Jean Jacques Rousseau, A Discourse on Political Economy, 1758
"How strange is the lot of us mortals! Each of us is here for a brief sojourn; for what purpose he knows not, though he sometimes thinks he senses it. But without deeper reflection one knows from daily life that one exists for other people -- first of all for those upon whose smiles and well-being our own happiness is wholly dependent, and then for the many, unknown to us, to whose destinies we are bound by the ties of sympathy. A hundred times every day I remind myself that my inner and outer life are based on the labors of other men, living and dead, and that I must exert myself in order to give in the same measure as I have received and am still receiving..." Albert Einstein, The World as I see it
