Began playing various musical instruments at age nine, at the gentle urging of artistic parents. First experience as guitarist with band in Junior High School - Gateway - kings of the roller rinks in hometown Eau Claire, WI.

Shelved musical pursuits during college years for conventional career aspirations (BBA - University of WI, Eau Claire, 1986.) but became determined for career as national recording artist before graduation. Relocated to the Twin Cities and, after brief stint as an Office Coffee Services salesman, began full-scale plunge. (Voice lessons, extensive guitar practice, songwriting efforts.). 
Began playing various musical instruments at age nine, at the gentle urging of artistic parents. First experience as guitarist with band in Junior High School - Gateway - kings of the roller rinks in hometown Eau Claire, WI. 

First self-produced recordings were on 45 rpm vinyl: "Please You", "Sweet, True Companion" and the groundbreaking
"Come What May" which, through independent promotion, garnered significant Midwest commercial airplay ("Top Pick", Midwest Music Journal.) and played all Summer long on Top-40 radio in Sioux Falls, SD. (1989)

Lots of Midwest club dates followed, primarily in the Twin Cities. Most notably, a series of national openers at The Fine Line Music Cafe, Minneapolis, for Sean Phillips, Kenny Rankin, and others. 

 
Current concentration divided between new recordings and busy performance schedule. Solo-Acoustic regularly/weekly, primarily at various Twin Cities (Axel's) Bonfire Restaurant/Bar locations...."Cover" material - lots of Beatles, other classic Rock, Pop, Jazz. Performs many private and some public bookings with bands The Magpies and The Jades.
