Today I got a positive review on Yelp (my 2nd one!) regarding my work as a vocal coach.  Check it out!!!

I must say that the the journey I began almost two years ago, that of a full-time music teacher, has been one of the most rewarding and gratifying experiences in my life.  It has taught me patience.  It has made me an infinitely better musician.  AND, it has taught me that I (gasp!) actually enjoy chlldren! I'm very grateful for the things I have now, and feel a much more "complete" person now that music comprises 100% of my work activities, both as a teacher and a performer.  I'm truly blessed.  

I had the privilege of taking part on a very cool compilation album comprised of may amazing local artist and compiled by Mr. J. Young, local musician and generally all-around cool dude.  The album, dubbed "Kooliedescope", features some of my very good friends and collaborators, and is great on its own merits - some real talent and song craft on display here (not just because I say so!).  You can download a copy for free here:

Let me know what you think of it!

I've decided to use the blog function of this website as a platform through which to post my various thoughts/observations/etc on the world.  Feel free to discuss whatever I might blog about in the comments section... I'd love to hear your thoughts!

In my short time on this planet, I have had the good fortune to be able to travel rather extensively.   In so doing, I have seen and discovered a great many interesting things, and there are a few insights that I have gleaned which I thought might be interesting to others.  As such, I would like to share some anecdotes that relate to culture; more specifically, I have found that that many aspects of a country’s culture can be experienced in the presence of that culture’s children.

Very excited to start a new gig tonight!  Me and my partner-in-crime Matt Neal will be performing at the Outpost in San Ramon from 5:30-8pm this Friday, June 22nd, in what looks to be a bi-monthly kind of thing (potentially weekly if things go well).  Here is the address:

2251 San Ramon Valley Blvd
San Ramon, CA 94583

Come check it out if you're in the area - should be fun!
