I am a San Francisco Bay area music producer, recording artist, and journalist with over 30 years experience writing arts and media reviews for nationally published magazines and more recently world-wide on the internet. I’ve been the music editor for the Los Angeles-based Awareness Magazine for the past 7 years as well as a free lance journalist/ publicist, and editor of Music and Media Focus.
As a music industry professional, I currently belong to The Recording Academy and am a voting member of The GRAMMY’S.

As a recording artist I have 5 CD’s of ambient music with elements of electronic, jazz, and rock. My previous release, “Indigo Moon“, features a guest appearance by Jefferson Starship and Rod Stewart keyboardist, Pete Sears. Also appearing as a special guest is new age music pioneer Steven Halpen, whose record label distributes this album, as well as my first release, “Atlantis Rising,” which was named by CD Baby as “one of the best new releases of the year“.
Along with studio recording and producing projects for other artists, I perform doing electronic music and
multi-media shows in addition to playing synthesizers and electric guitar in SF Bay area bands.
I also produce music videos, such as the ones for Ambient Alchemy below, as well as creating soundtracks for video, guided imagery, etc.
