I was born in Vancouver, Washington on November 11, 1961.  Music has been a part of my life since birth.  I was especially fascinated with the piano, but I didn't actually take it up till I was 25.  I took 3 months of classical and 3 months of improvisational lessons then pretty much taught myself after that.  I play mostly by ear, and I love to learn music just by listening to a song a few times and then applying it!  I sat in for a keyboard player in a local bar, that was my "big break", LOL.  I've also played in churches; my current gig is in Tigard, Oregon.  I have also started teaching piano this year.

I began writing songs in 1996 (My first song was REALLY BAD!!!!!),  first on a Roland XP-50, (can you say, FLOPPY DRIVE????) then on a Roland Fantom Xa, then recently learned how to use Reason 4.0.  I really love to write instrumental music and hope to someday pitch my work for TV, movies, videos, whatever needs music.
