About Me

.. ..

I live on the east bank of the Mississippi River in Minneapolis, MN. I work at The Podium music store in Dinkytown. I play mandolin with Pert Near Sandstone, the Town Hall Stompers, and occasionally other musicians. I teach mandolin at the Podium. I also play old-time fiddle, mando-banjo, autoharp, and guitar. Trying to support myself through music.

I like drinking coffee, chatting with friends, travel by various means, music, billiards, cards & dice, sitting around a fire, cigarettes, beer, swimming, the woods, singing, sleeping outside, reading, family, redheads, enjoying life.
