About Me

Note: Since the fidelity of the myspace player gives me angry feelings, please be kind and listen to the songs from the Cakewalk Player below. They are streamed from my own site at much higher sound quality. Thanks

My first music video. Pretty lo-fi but what do you want from me?

Please enjoy a photograph


It all started with the Recorder in 4th grade. (As I write this, my son is in 6th grade - scary!). Then came trumpet and ultimately Guitar which is still my main instrument. As far as original material goes, I mostly fly alone here in my studio and every once in a while I manage to finish something that sounds like something. The full musik story is at My Music Page .So anyway, I've also always been interested in science and technology. My dream job would have been to work for a successful music software company, and damn if it didn't happen. I started as an engineer at Cakewalk in 2001 and have been Director of Engineering there since August of 2006. it's been an amazing experience and I truly consider myself lucky everyday to be there. Needless to say, my studio is centered around SONAR.

Please enjoy a video
