For several years life revolved around my music. I came to California to play music and did just that. In the process I managed to earn an MA degree in music composition from Claremont Graduate University.

For those that don’t know, I taught in the music department at California Polytechnic in Pomona for a couple of years before going out to make a living as a saxophone player. I also played bassoon in orchestras for a short while. I played with several bands, made several recordings, and had a great time in music. I think you would be hard pressed to find any of those recordings today.

I can still be heard, for those interested and are in the Claremont area, playing with one of the Granite Creek Community Church worship bands once or twice a month. From time to time I still manage to sit in with some of the blues bands that play the local Claremont clubs.
