You can find me in Seattle. I'm a journalist/editor/performer/composer who tries to stay busy with fiddle and mandolin gigs. I've played a Collyard solidbody 8-string mando and/or my Thormahlen acoustic/electric octave mando (top right) with the bands Wind River, Cabin Fever, and Shaky Situation. I sold the Collyard and picked up an 8-string Yanuziello, with which I recorded the music I wrote for a stage adaptation of Rudyard Kipling's Just So Stories—possibly the first children's musical ever recorded on electric mandolin. My other e-mandos at the moment are a vintage National Silvo (below, left and center) and a Roger Bacorn 5-string (below right) with a custom mammoth-ivory bridge by Kurt Gisclair of Husky Acoustics.
      Currently I play fiddle, mandolin, and tenor guitar with The Priest and the Publicans and at Bethany Presbyterian Church, as well as mandocello with the Seattle Mandolin Orchestra and viola with Thalia Symphony. I've also toured a bit on fiddle with the Ric Blair Band. Drop me an about anything on this site.
