Leave Behind
More Than You Take

Music is a Healthy Mixture of

Passion

Music is the driving force. The background to everything I do. It lifts me up when I’m down, it brings me down when I’m up. My center.

Inspiration

With passion comes inspiration. The motivation to create. To give something to the world. To help others find their way.

Practice

Nothing great is created without practice. Repetition is not work if it is what you love. And even if it was work, the payoff is worth it.

Performing & Recording

I split my time in the music world between two loves. I’m a performer, first and foremost. I’ve been playing guitar for over 25 years. Along the way, I mixed in my love of technology and learned the art of recording. It’s a beautiful marriage.

Singer / Songwriter

In my spare time, I write songs on my trusty Larrivee acoustic guitar. I sing, but I wouldn't call myself a singer. I also bang away on my drum set, but I wouldn't call myself a drummer either.

Recording Engineer

I've been recording bands for over 20 years. I've recorded to analog tape on a Tascam 4-track and digital tape on an Alesis ADAT. Now it's strictly in the box on a computer.
