Welcome to my songwriting website! I am hopeful that your visit will be both pleasant and informative. Please browse at your leisure, listen to some of my demo's, send me an email, or, if you like, sign my guest book.

Born and raised in America's heartland, I am now a resident in northern California. I write primarily country songs, but I also have a few blues and rock songs to my credit.

My music has been reviewed in the following publications:

  • Rocktober and Lumpen House Magazines; Chicago, Illinois

  • Garage and Beat Magazine; Los Angeles.

  • Additionally, songs I have written are included in artist Kelly Kuvo's "Now Playing" exhibit at the Agnes B. Gallerie du Jour in Paris, France.

    Besides songwriting, I have played the character of "Big Dawg" in 2 independent films. Big Dawg is an old blues stringer who mentors a group of blues musicians on their road to the top of the blues charts. These films are:

    • Low Down Dirty D.A.W.G.S produced by Ian Marshall and introduced at the New York Underground Film Festival with a live performance at legendary CBGB's

    • Street Boogie produced by Jeff Jenson and filmed in historic Lawrence, Kansas and New York City

    I am an active member in the following songwriting organizations:
  • American Society of Composers, Authors, and Publishers (ASCAP)
  • Songwriters Guild of America (SGA)
  • Nashville Songwriters Association International (NSAI)
  • West Coast Songwriters Association (WCSA)
