About Me


Purchase or download my music at CD Baby


I am in Issue #1 of iJamr Magazine"!

Click to open it to actual size I am a musician and an artist, who is trapped in an engineer's mind. I figured, most people know me as a musician , but I am also another person on this little planet we call Earth. I will try to give the interested reader (I guess that means you) something to digest, if they are so inclined, through my blog entries.Culturally, my heritage is half Finnish (mother's side) and half Italian (father's side). My mother wants me to believe that I am 51% Finnish, and she got me the refrigerator magnet to remind me. Ei voi olla totta!

My Interests

I'd like to meet:

I do not usually go out of my way to meet people, but if I had to choose, I guess I would say Paul Hewson (Bono of U2) because of his efforts to help people in Africa and around the world, Stephen Hawking because of his brilliant understanding of the mechanical universe around us, the Dalai Lama because of his spiritual awareness, and maybe some other people for various reasons. I suppose as a musician, I wouldn't mind jamming with Keith Jarrett, Al Di Meola, and Pat Metheny. In all, I have to say I am lucky to have good friends and great musicians already around me, so I am not hungry to answer this question.
