As a teenager, I was fascinated by Spanish Classical guitarists
    and began taking classical guitar lessons in 1970.  I eventually
    began playing electric guitar and bass in rock and jazz bands and
    started writing original  songs.   

    I came full circle in the late 1980's when I heard Michael Hedges
    play and rediscovered how amazing acoustic guitar can sound
    and how challenging and rewarding it is to write, play and record
    acoustic instrumental arrangements.   Since my return to acoustic
    music, I have played in small acoustic groups but for the last
    several years I have performed mostly as a soloist. My goal is to
    play music that touches people emotionally. To do that, the music
    must first touch me emotionally. It is tempting to learn "filler"
    songs just to take up more time so you can play longer gigs. I
    have made a decision however, to never play filler music. I want
    every piece of music I play to be one of my favorite arrangements.
    When you have this attitude, it takes a lot longer to get several
    hours worth of music, but it is well worth the wait. It is always fun
    to entertain people, but there is nothing like playing a song that
    really touches someone emotionally and takes them on an
    imaginary voyage for a few minutes. My ultimate musical goal is to
    play music that both entertains people and touches them deep
    inside.

    I play both a classical guitar and a steel string guitar. The
    classical is usually kept in standard tuning but the steel string is
    mostly played in altered tunings.
