WELCOME! Thank you for stopping by to take a look into my world, a world of jazz as a way of life. I have had an amazing journey learning about life and the universe through music, and there is still so far to travel! I am so excited to have the opportunity to create artistic content in a new way that will allow me to transcend the traditional recording process of recording some tunes, make some liner notes, a cover, release it and hope people get to hear it. By becoming a patron here, you will get exclusive content just for my Patreon supporters. I will know you are there and create the content specifically for you! This content will have some of the traditional audio format but also video, live stream events, stories and insights to what keeps me making music (my curiosity of the world) and more. It's this curiosity that makes me excited about the possibilities here. I love creating and hope that you will join me on this journey...nature, music study, martial arts, philosophy, education, creativity, where else can you get all of that in one spot!

For those who don't know me (or may not know all of these things about me), I am a saxophonist, hammond organist, composer, arranger, educator, martial artist, father, husband, nature lover and all around lover of life and the journey! I have had the good fortune of meeting, performing and recording with many great musicians over the last 30 plus years. I have lived and worked as a musician in New York City and NY's Capital Region, and have had the opportunity to travel thanks to my life in music. I have several music projects that I lead including a big band, several different small groups, all to allow my musical curiosities to come to fruition. I have been involved in jazz and music education for many years and am the co-founder of All Ears Jazz which presents jazz workshops.

I hope that you will join me on this new part of my journey as I will share my thoughts on the creative process and in doing so share the results of that process! For the price of one $5 cover charge you get access to so much more than just a couple sets of music! I look forward to starting this journey together and thank you for your support!
