About Me

I got serious about my music when I enrolled at John Ford School in San Francisco. There I worked on both performing and writing until I got a band gig and began collaborating with John Ford himself. At his insistence, I joined NorCalSongwritersAssoc (now WCS) and began working with LA and Nashville publishers. (Thanks John!!) This led to lasting deals with film/TV publishers. Placements include TV shows The Isaac Mizrahi Show, Malcolm in the Middle, UPN's 7 Days, Guiding Light, Young and the Restless, Meet My Folks, Touched By an Angel, CMT Insider, Married Away, and films Duty Dating, White River Kid, Danny Glover's Just A Dream, etc. My kids liked it when MTV put one of my songs in an episode of Made. After several writing trips to Nashville, I made the move and now happily abide by the local rule- co-writing. This year I was brought in on a collaboration with Eden's Ridge author Myra McLarey and hit songwriter Gene Nelson on a song written just for Willie Nelson to sing in the movie version of the book. Two other songs of mine are also featured in the film, with lyrics included in the most recent printing of Eden's Ridge.One more thing- check out the kid named Coyote in my top 12. That's my nephew Kyle, and we're awfully proud of him. Update, 4/2-KYLE IS HOME from Iraq!!!!!!!!!!!!
