i'm a musician, filmmaker and writer. i read and write everyday. i enjoy every moment, the so-called little things, like the first taste of coffee in the morning and a random call from a friend. i'm good at being alone and i love a crowd. i host a lot of parties and have a great time meeting new people. i tend to ask a lot of questions: "where did you grown up? what do you do? do you like it? no? then what would you rather be doing?" i'm fascinated by human behavior and if i could start over i might be a psychologist. people tell me i'm lucky to have the life i have and i agree.

i've always been a professional musician (pianist, producer) but at middle age i decided to learn how to make movies and i'm happy with how movie-making's going so far and definitely plan to keep going with it. i opened an art gallery in 2006 and that's been a lot of fun and has let me meet a lot of great people. my most recent musical project is a series of piano and cello recordings on which i play the piano. i live in a small town but i get to travel enough to big cities to balance my small town life. i do a lot of online networking, so i feel like i'm in constant touch with world.

playing the piano, putting words together, helping people think more deeply about themselves and their life.

a lot of people, when they come into my home for the first time, say "wow! have you actually READ all of these books?!"

too hard to answer. i have a crazy wide range of tastes in most things, from very mainstream/middle-of-the-road to the arty and intellectual. i listen to virtually all kinds of music, from classical, jazz and country, to electronica, hip-hop and post rock. i like going to hear live music. i like going to movies and plays. i love restaurants, love eating in general. i like to cook and want to get better at it. favs include italian, mexican, indian, thai, and classic pizza n burger joints. i like red wine and drink socially. for example, i love a good margarita at a mexican place. when i'm at home my cooking/eating tends toward italian. i'm always reading at least 3 or 4 books, and i usually have some kind of music playing in my home.

morning coffee, internet connection, my friends, music, books, andy (my cat).

all kinds of things and i definitely spend a lot of time thinking.

having dinner with friends, or going to hear a band, or maybe playing music somewhere myself, or enjoying a quiet evening at home.

ask me anything. i think i'm pretty open.

you want to message me.
