Hello and Welcome!

Please let me introduce myself. Where to start? I’ve had a rather unusual career as a singer-songwriter. I only started writing songs around  2014 when I was nearly 60 years old, although I did write a couple songs during high school and college days where I sang and played for several local bands .

I was terminated as Senior Paralegal from Lee Memorial Health System during the mortgage meltdown and financial crisis of 2008-2009. There were no jobs available and people were losing their homes due to foreclosure. To make matters worse, I had separated from my wife and filed for a divorce. I had left home with my computer, guitar, and two small dogs, Sam and Joey, the loves of my life, my whole world.

The three of us rented a small one-bedroom apartment and all slept in one bed. I really had no other friends. I would talk with them just like I would speak to friends and family, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, unless I had to leave them alone for some reason. Since I couldn't find employment, I started a licensed private investigative agency specializing in electronic discovery and computer forensics, but mostly paid the bills doing surveillance.

I also started playing my guitar in public at the invite of a friend who had a friend that owned a sports bar. Things clicked from there and Talent and Entertainment Productions, a talent and booking agency, offered to represent me. I was soon playing at some of the finest resorts and other music venues in the southwest part of Florida, to include Naples, Fort Myers Beach, Sanibel Island, and Captiva. Sand, water, and dolphins  were always nearby. Nirvana!

I recorded my first album, "Ruff Draft", in 2016 with the Dog Bones Band, a trio with guitar, banjo, and congas (for real). It had six songs that I had written and six cover songs on it. Then COVID hit, and all live music venues had to close.  I took the opportunity to share my music with friends and the public by performing songs live on Facebook as a way to provide a little online entertainment until live venues reopened.

I released my second album "Climb on Board" in 2021 and "Younger Than Ever" in 2023, and have written and recorded numerous singles since then. I spent most of 2023 and 2024 creating music videos for all my music, which I later converted to karaoke versions that allowed me to perform live while I projected the karaoke videos on a big screen. 

All my music is available for purchase at all major online music stores like Apple, Amazon, iTunes, etc.

Thank you for visiting!
