About

I am a former Cryptologist and Navy Veteran (1987–1992). I served in Rota, Spain, with one "Direct Support" operation in the Mediterranean Sea, followed by service in Panama in support of Operation Just Cause.

After leaving the Navy (Honorably), I spent 25 years in Arizona as an Excavating Contractor.

These days, I work from home, exploring my passion for music and film arrangements. I am offering my songs to the industry and hope to find an established country music band looking for another songwriter. While I have sung in bars and even at a swap meet in Arizona, I do not have any plans to join a band or tour at this point in my life.

Today, small artists like me can finally bring our songs to life using AI and advanced software to create the sounds we're looking for. With these tools, we have the opportunity not only to write the songs but to arrange them to get the exact sound we envision. This has opened doors for thousands of artists. The future should be interesting for the industry as they adapt to this change. 

Some people question this type of "art," believing that unless you play every instrument and sing every note yourself, you're not a legitimate artist. I disagree. There are thousands—if not millions—of at-home musicians who can now bring their written songs to life with the advancement of technology.

As a songwriter and composer, I work hard to use my voice samples and musical compositions to craft the songs I want. This often takes weeks or months to get right. So, while I’m using technology, I can assure you that it's not as simple as pressing a button to have a song magically written and arranged.

My main genre is Country Music. I grew up listening mostly to country, rock, and pop. For now, my songs generally focus on country and pop styles.

Other Interests: Instrumental arrangements for streamers or the hospitality industry. I’m also learning basic filmmaking and may offer music video services at some point in the future.

Hobbies: I enjoy working. These days, you’ll find me on my tractor, transforming a 5-acre lot in the state of Maine into a beautiful walking garden for me and my dogs. It’s a work in progress that will likely take years to complete.

Thank you for stopping by to check me out. I'm glad you're here and hope you find at least one song that makes you tap your feet or smile.
