"a taste of Michael Hedges,a dash of Leo Kottke and a strong dose of originality" --Poet Man Records

Born in East Detroit Michigan(back when it still was). Began playing at age 8. Early influences were: Ten Tears After, Jeff Beck, Black Sabbath, Pink Floyd, Led Zeppelin. Traveled to Oregon where I spent 4 glorious years playing pub's and tav's. First in Ashland, then in Portland as well as Washington state. Did a live (taped) set for KSOR, and my early material was also played on KPOR-KCOR in 1982-83. Although at the time, I had never heard of Leo Kottke (I was ignorant of Acoustic players generally), my playing was compared to his work, which in turn led me to seek out his work as well as others such as Micheal Hedges.

In the years since, I have spent some time in California (6 years in San Rafael), Boston (1 year in Cambridge), Florida (1 year in Sarasota), and then finally back to Detroit to spend some time with my brothers.

This CD Anubis 2, originally got some attention in 1999-2000 on independent/college radio stations both domestically and internationally after "Helga's Song" was included on the "Acoustic Rainbow Sampler" Vol.6 put out by Poet Man Records; a peppy little diddy that my Bavarian friend loved, so, I named it for her. In 2002, I was in the middle of work on a 2nd CD when I won the cancer lottery which has delayed its completion. Currently I am rapping up what i started then, and hope to be done soon.
