As a lead and rhythm guitarist & vocalist, I've independently produced over 5 CDs of original work, as well as public domain Christmas carols & hymns. My musical style incorporates many genres, including country,
classical, alternative rock, pop, blues, and praise & worship. Some of the songs I've co written have been aired on several area radio stations 107.5 Alive of Boyertown, PA and WWSM of Lebanon, PA.

 
     
  Two of my acoustic guitar compositions were used for background music for a commercial by Philadelphia based Production Company called Kinetic Images. click here to see article  
 

 

 
  In a phone conversation lAST coordinator Lisa Thompson inspired me to write "Hidden In Plain Sight" a song to help bring awareness about human trafficking and give the victims a voice for their cries for help. The lyrics and a song clip are posted at www.iast.net under how to help section.  
     
  In the past while serving on the Victory Christian Fellowship worship team I have backed up on lead and rhythm guitar the following worship leaders; Floyd Ellsworth who works with evangelist Steve Hill; Rob Stearns of Eagles Wings Ministries and Eugene Greco of Integrity Music.

With Linda writing lyrics, and myself composing and performing the music, we've recently released three independent CDs: "Christmases Past", "Stand Up for the Veteran", and "At the Speed."
 
     
  I currently teach at several area music stores and I've also played lead guitar with the all-girl rock band "Tickled Pink", with whom I played at WYSP Loud and Local, as well as at Lansdale Bike Night and other venues.
