Music Saved my Life

Thankful to have been a part of the music industry for nearly my whole life.

Taught Private lessons in my high school years, attended Michigan State University for Music Education, Principal Percussion for the Lansing Symphony Orchestra, employers: Marshall Music Company, Kaman Music, GHS Corporation, D'Addario, Evans, Promark, D'A Woodwinds (D'Addario and Co), Several performance roles - Rock, Country, even Polka.

Some Music

I have been practicing, performing, teaching and writing music for over 60 years. I wrote and produced all the lyrics on this site. The words are then put to music with some of my instrumentation and by exporting the stems to my studio software.  The final touches are added with the help of my band... “Artificial Incompetence”  (wink).  Even though this is purely for my own enjoyment, I hope you find something you like.  Many of the songs have personal meaning for me and others are in dedication to my dear wife, who passed away October 3, 2025.
