I am primarily a lyric writer. Though I own a guitar, I probably don't play it as much as I do battle with it. After these monumental clashes, many of which have sent my wife and dog scurrying for cover, we retreat to our neutral corners, the guitar back to the safety of its case and me back to the security of my computer keyboard.Thus, lyric writing has become a safe way to keep me in close to something I love immensely, music. My co-writes have won awards from ASG, Dallas Songwriting Association and Songwriters of Wisconsin International. They have been featured on a nationally aired documentary entitled, "New Beginnings", The Milwaukee Journal/Sentinel Online and have had airplay on commercial and public radio stations across the country. One of the songs I co-wrote continues to raise money for a non-profit organization called Homes for our Troops.

I love writing and I would love to collaborate with ASG members. I write all styles and all subjects. I have helped write songs about , cowboys, butterflies, war heroes, Caribbean beaches and a murdered banker buried in a wheat field, among other things.

I've always felt there is a power in music. It can make you laugh or cry, dance or gently lull you to sleep. Music can take you back to a moment in time or help you dream of a time yet to come or just help you pass the time on the road. It is the magic of music. I truly enjoy being a part of that and I truly believe in that magic.
