Biography

I’d spent twelve years teaching songwriting at the University of Virginia’s Young Writers Workshop, conducted scores of writing workshops, and freelanced as the lead singer/songwriter reviewer on
Minor7th.com. Sure, I’d performed hundreds of times, headlining clubs
like Charlottesville’s venerable Prism Coffeehouse and the Aerie in Eagles Mere, PA. I’d toured France in an old time band, did well in a few contests, and opened for We’re About Nine, Hot Soup, and even Dave Matthews. But I was always primarily a teacher and a father. The time has finally come for me to put my music where my mouth had been. The result is This Human Heart. Check it out on the Music page!
