I am a recording artist, touring musician, producer and studio engineer. I was born and raised in the beautiful Rocky Mountains of Bozeman, and have been in Southern California for about 6 years now. I initially moved to San Diego to serve as the Artist Community Director for MP3.com after studying music performance at The Hartt Conservatory, and Duke University. My latest studio time and production work has been with a great up-and-coming artist, miss Brandy Vaughan, an amazing singer-songwriter, and the 2004 Gibson New Musician Award Winner. Currently, we are in mastering my latest project: Electric Picture Show, as well as promoting a new shmoove jazz album by the group Voce', and touring and recording with Ike Turner and The Kings of Rhythm.
