About Me


I grew up in California and have lived in both the San Francisco Bay Area and now Los Angeles. I am very happy to have just released my new album "Tales From California." I wrote and produced the record because I love California and its history (particularly the overlooked native history here), as well as its hot springs, mountains, deserts, islands and beaches. Even if you're not from the state, I think there are themes in the album that everyone can relate to. And with all the songs based on acoustic guitar, it provides for some relaxing music to listen to.
I released my first album "A Locked Box of Treasure" in 1999 on Hitman Records. The CD is available here . From the time I released that CD to the new one, I worked in the music industry in Los Angeles and went back to school, all while continuing to write and perform music.
You can pick up a copy of "Tales From California" at CDBaby . You can also download songs individually on iTunes. If you need to find me, just head on out to San Francisco, where I currently live with my wife Jessica and baby boy Caleb. I'm still performing and writing songs. Thanks and I hope you enjoy!
