Musician, Teacher, Dad

I teach people how to work this thing called a ‘Guitar’ and they give me money. And then I play the Guitar while people eat or drink or get married or even listen sometimes, and they pay me again.           i work in heaven!  


Born in Kansas City, I began playing the guitar at the age of 12 after seeing the Beatles play on the Ed Sullivan Show.

After seeing that, I knew what I wanted to do with my life – playing in many bands, covering many different styles of music. Went on the road in 1977 and traveled from Oregon to Maine playing music all the way. Since 1980 I’ve been in Vermont, and have been fortunate enough to actually make a living teaching guitar & ukulele and performing.

"Gasical Class"

Performed October 2010 @ Middlebury College Maheney Center for the Arts Concert Hall.


I teach Guitar & Ukulele at the wonderful Middlebury Community Music Center in Middlebury, Vermont.

I also teach at Middlebury college.

Beginning in November I will be teaching in the Kansas City area. Details soon!

I have 13 recordings to date and I’m working on my next project now.
