Recording and producing his own material continuously since the late 1970s — this is the story behind the catalog.
Picked up a pair of drumsticks in grade school and never put them down — first chair by senior year of high school, having played in every school band available.
Found country music in college with the Marlin Rice Trio, the start of a career that would move through genre after genre.
Crossed paths with John Faris of Zephyr in the Colorado scene and co-founded Najani, a Boulder-based jazz fusion band, for three years. Also co-founded the concept band United World with Ray Laucella, and later the Vernon McMahon band, whose southern rock and pop sets ran the ski-area circuit through Colorado, Wyoming, Arizona, and Kansas.
Shifted toward composing and recording — a practice that's run continuously ever since, alongside the stage work — taking 3rd place in a national R&B competition, then moving into Gospel and Christian music alongside Richie Furay of Buffalo Springfield and Poco.
Found a home in houses of worship, founding Hallel Music and Hallel Music Radio — producing artists including Rainy Garay and other emerging talent, and picking up the bass guitar along the way.
Moved to Idaho to be near family, continuing to play in local houses of worship before returning to his band roots — and, in 2026, to Hallel Music itself.
