I was born and raised in Venice, California where I enjoyed
playing in various rock groups, taught guitar at a local music
store, and began my love of writing music. I have always enjoyed
reading, history, and travel and have strived to combine these
interests in what I do creatively. After playing a number of
historical European instruments with multiple strings I naturally
continued this interest when I discovered that there had been
a musical movement in America that involved the harp guitar.
I have been encouraging others to play the instrument by my
recordings, television specials, performances, teaching, and
my developing a website that is serving as a clearing house
of information about the instrument, its history, luthiers,
performers, recordings and much more.
