The Chapman Stick is a wonderful instrument that lets me play guitar and bass at the same time. The melody side is MIDI'd so I can play a variety on instruments on that half of the instrument. I experiment with rock, funk, fusion, jazz and whatever else comes up. I have recently begun writing lyrics and added vocals to my tunes for more mass appeal.

I began my career on bass guitar. I loved the power and full sound of the bass, but I soon moved on to guitar which offered a more expressive way of getting the music out. 15 years later I found the Chapman Stick. Immediately I knew this was the instrument for me. Now I have the best of both. A powerful bass instrument as well as an articulate melodic vehicle, all on one neck and played simultaneously. For over 37 years I have composed and played my own style of music. This instrument is a source of inspiration in my quest to create my unique music. I have recently began singing and added vocals to my tunes in an effort to create a more broad appeal.
My second love after creating music is to capture it faithfully and with the excitement of a live performance. In the early 70's I entered the studio as a guitarist and emerged a year later as a budding engineer. I own my own recording studio and that facilitates my song writing capabilities.
