About Me

I grew up in Central Massachusetts and on Cape Cod and then spent 40 years in the mountains of Colorado.
I now live in the panhandle of Florida with my wonderful wife Susanne and our cool canine Jazmine.

I love the Oceans and the Mountains with equal vigor.


Other than landscaping, cooking, and working in lumber yards, I’ve been a builder most of my life.
Self-employed, building everything, from excavating, concrete foundations, stone brick and block masonry, framing, roofing, painting, and everything in between, including plumbing and electric.
I’ve spent years asĀ  building inspector.
I’ve built computers and written software programs.
I love wrenching on cars and welding.
I specialize in improving efficiency in everything I come in contact with which, so I’m told, can be quite annoying to those around me.

I started playing guitar when I was twelve.
I’ve had some bands and have played and still play socially.

I love playing and writing music as a way to relax and zone out…and in.

I’m not the greatest guitarist or singer but I don’t need to be. People seem to like what I play and how I play it….  ….but they could be jivin’ me.

I love to play and sing with folks around a campfire, especially in the late evening and especially when there’s beer around.

For the most part, I enjoy Classic Rock and Blues, with a little bit of country thrown in.
