I'm a writer, singer-songwriter, and illustrator. I build houses because I never figured out how to make money with art. When I was a younger man, I joined the Army. I became a combat medic and I jumped out of planes. For two weeks I was a member of the 82nd Airborne Division’s All American Chorus, but a 1st Sergeant at headquarters didn’t like that for me and I got sent to Iraq instead. I went again a year later and decided that was about enough of that.
My songs are short stories, letters to my past self, low-cost talk therapy in mostly major keys. You can check out my E.P.K. for more info.
Currently writing a book, “Bring Your Gun To Work Day,” about my military training, combat deployments, and the long road back to finding peace.
