Some of the songs on this page were recorded by SYMPLICITY, an acoustic duo I was a part of in 2003. The other part of SYMPLICITY was JODI HILLMAN TAYLOR. I couldn't have created these recordings without her, and I will always appreciate her contribution to that project! Enjoy the music!

I am a Singer/Songwriter. That's who I am. When I write a song, I write what I know, what I see, and what I feel. I try to write music that people can connect with and relate to. I'm nobody famous, I work two jobs to pay the bills, and try to work on my music when time permits. When I think about it, I guess my music is my third job.
I'm interested in meeting other musicians and singer/songwriters (to collaborate with), and other people in the industry. I'm also scheduling gigs, so if you've got a place for me to play, contact me. Finally, I'm interested in connecting with old friends and meeting new, fun people. If you're a fan of my music, even better! If you see me out and about, say Hi. If you have a beach house, or a cabin in the mountains, let's go on a road trip...I'm looking for inspiration and good times. There's nothing more inspiring than a little captain and coke (or cranberry and vodka), and some fresh beach/mountain air.
Hi my love.. How are you? I am so sorry that it has been so long since I have written. I was thining of you and wanted to say hello and tell ya I miss ya..
I got nothing... It was very sad. It said no one had me as their pet yet. I have no value as a pet. Of course, I'm not real fond of being someone's pet...but that's kind of beside the point... Sorry didn't get a chance to call you back!! BUT I will see you tomorrow evening! I miss you, my friend!! Looking forward to hanging out!!!! p.s. Come over whenever you're done with what is is you must do. We'll be here.
