Growing up in Ohio consisted of simple times with a love for music, sports and the outdoors. The balance of these components still are a part of my life philosophy. I was introduced to an eclectic genre of music from my parents at an early age. The exposure to jazz, blues, rock and country is reflected in my music and who I am as an artist today. Interest in guitar and singing started in my teens and has continued to grow and evolve throughout the years. Leaving my roots in the eighties, I headed west where the beautiful Utah skies meet the ridge tops of the Wasatch Mountains, the place I call home. ‰Û¢ I have been performing with various musicians from a 5-piece rock band to theater productions and acoustic venues. In 2001 I started writing more original material and released my first solo CD.
