HI THERE !

I am a songwriter, composer, producer, and musician currently living in Haiku, Hawaiʻi.  I focus most of my attention on composing and songwriting these days with styles ranging from ambient to punk rock.  You can also find me playing out and about on the island occasionally, but with Charley’s in Paʻia now closed, I don’t play out much anymore. My primary focus is on sync–getting music into film and TV.

I have also played in a few punk rock bands.  In the early 80, I played in a band called The Palectics in college in Houghton, MI.  We played mostly covers but did a few originals as well.  Later I and a few other like-minded folks formed Hunger Artist in Rochester, NY.  We played a lot regionally sharing the stage with some great bands such as NoFX, Goo Goo Dolls, and Soulside. The last band I played in regularly was called Standard Deviation in the late 80s early 90s also in Rochester.  To listen to all of this music, check out my music page.

If you are at all interested in my music or would be interested in collaborating, please contact me.
