About Me

^For my less technical friends who are still out there, you don't need an Ipod or MP3 player to download and listen to these original compositions: simply download to your computer and then 'burn' to an audio CD.....Musician (Singer/Songwriter & Saxophonist), Designer, Engineer, Writer, Illustrator/Cartoonist, etc. - check out my blogs for more detailed info - I've had the great fortune of having a variety of creative outlets to explore, and I've been fortunate to have worked with some incredibly talented folks over the years from North America and Europe, resulting in recording an amazing catalog of original music and designing some pretty incredible stuff.
