About Me

Sooooo ... I'm just a guy who's always had a "real" job while playing in several bands, none of which would ever get serious about making music. Of course, I guess it's hard to get serious about music in the tiny little town of Ottumwa, Iowa (only known for being the fictional home of Radar O'Reilly in MASH, and real-life home of Tom Arnold, who was a year behind me in high-school there). I've relocated to Atlanta now where music is much more alive and the whole attitude of "you can't be a 'real' musician" doesn't exist. Unfortunately, since my "real" job has been very demanding and time consuming in the past several years I have pretty much had to give up on playing live (except for the occasional open mic) but I started to put together a little home studio and have been writing and recording there. I've been doing all the parts myself and have almost finished enough material to put a CD together ... and then ... who knows? ... Stay tuned ......
