About Me

As of late I have traded in my sanitary sub making gloves for a guitar pick. I currently have six jobs. Here they are....insect engineer, field consultant for Subway sandwich operations in Cleveland Ohio, co owner of a ball python business, guitar teacher, manager and front man of Cleveland based band Redwater RoJo, and solo acoustic singer/songwriter guy. Give me a shout if you, or anyone you know would like to start up guitar lessons with me. Or..........if you need a band. Or.............you have a drain fly problem. You get the point!Although I wear many hats, music is my life. Through writing I am able to escape the normal pitfalls that would plague me otherwise. I draw most of my songwriting inspiration from gospel and country music. Although Redwater RoJo is a more "hard rocking" band, I can not escape the way such artists as Mahalia Jackson, Bessie smith, and even Travis Tritt make me feel. I am also a member of the paladin knights....www.paladinknights.org....This is a non-profit organization dedicted to POW-MIA causes. We frequent the VA hospitals between cleveland and akron, bringing food and other necessities to the veterans. We also help homeless veterans and their families get back on their feet, and participate in many local charities. Check out the paladin knights, Redwater RoJo, and all of our tunes, and let me know how you like them. I edited my profile with Thomas' Myspace Editor V4.4

Letting go

I just spent the last hour watching the sun set from my 10th floor balcony.  I couldn't help but think about a beautiful girl with eyes as blue as the naked sky I used to share that with.  T...

In the studio.....then and now

About 10 years back, inside the confines of a dingy maple heights recording studio, my resentment for perfection began.  It actually started when I first entered kindergarden and was forced to ti...
