Hello friends and welcome to the website! I grew up with a guitar in one hand and a paintbrush in the other. I love using all sides of my creativity to help bring great music into the world. Be it on stage, in the studio, behind the camera, or at the layout desk, I’m still passionately chasing the sound.

Filming Live Music in Tribute to Rusty Young
Producer, Director

I’ve always been a student of the great concert films of the past—Woodstock; the Last Waltz; Monterey Pop; the Grateful Dead Movie; etc. Putting on another hat, on this tribute to Rusty Young, I worked as producer and director, behind the camera, capturing the concert on film.

“Two voices with intricate guitar bits” - or some such phrase became the mantra of this project. But the real project became figuring out how to shine a bright and focused light on those voices and guitar bits.

Creating the cover and package for “Poems From Earth” inspired my own artistic soul searching process. Researching through a book on historical symbology, an image came to mind and through a many revisions the final collage came into focus.

At Home On Stage

Though I’m often on the road with my current touring roster, I’m always eager to meet a new artist, find a new stage, make new friends and to create new music for hungry new fans. Available for both full-time and one-off concerts and tours as a lead guitarist, multi-instrumentalist, BG vocalist and band leader (MD).

ALBUM DESIGN

Hand-Painting
with Modern Tools

When executive producer, Kirk Pasich, gave me the assignment to work on a cover for his “Radio—Alone in the Night” project, I was immediately thrown into vivid memories of childhood when I would get lost in the album covers while listening to my parents’ collection.

With 12x12 inches to work with, visual artists approached the design of the album jacket with significantly more attention to detail.

What inspired me most for Kirk’s project were the hand-painted covers like Frank Zappa’s “Overnite Sensation” and Styx’s “A Night at the Paradise.”

It was my goal to find a modern way to paint the scenes from Kirk’s story that accompanies the project. Using the latest technology, as well as a copy-camera editor’s techniques, I was able to create a scene fresh from Kirk’s imagination.
