Biography: I began my pursuit of music as a teenager by playing guitar, bass, and keyboards, and imitating my favoirte alternative/goth bands. Later I branched out into reggae and began adding percussion instruments to my mix. In college I focused mainly on the guitar and began recording my own music with my 4 track recorder. In graduate school, as I was working on my PhD in religious studies (emphasizing Native American religions), I added didjeridu, harmonica, mandolin, and various ethnic flutes and an expanded range of percussion to my collection. I now combine these instruments in digital recordings on my Mac to make beautiful and expressive instrumental music. I have produced several of my own CD's which are available locally and via the internet.
