Embrace Your Passion
I uncovered my passion for music when I was very young. My dad, Lou was a guitar player, and he showed me how to play a few chords when I was six years old. Growing up with music in the house was a wonderful thing! I wanted to play like dad. So from that point on, I started on my journey to play guitar as well as other musical instruments.
Live Life in Song
My dad was a master craftsman, and he had built a number of Hammered Dulcimers over the years. I always played dad's instruments, not just because he built them, but because I really liked the sound of the instruments he built. I still have four of the instruments that he built, but the instrument I am currently playing was built by my brother Jess, who is also a Master Woodworker. Dad was a both a musician and a wood worker. My brother Jess inherited the word working skills, and I inherited dad's music making skills
Be Inspired by Everything
I find inspiration all around me. Music is one of life's most inspiring activities - and I love the passion and emotion that music creates. I welcome the opportunity to offer my music to hopefully inspire you...
