I have been writing songs since 1985.

At 16 years old in 1986, I wrote my very first real song, “Feel This Way,” for my first girlfriend. That song marked the beginning of a lifelong passion — turning real emotions, experiences, and moments into music.

Every song I create starts the same way: just me, my acoustic guitar, and chords I feel in my hands and heart. That raw foundation is what all my music is built upon.

I now have four original songs released on Spotify:

• “Feel This Way” — The very first song I ever wrote, back in 1986 at age 16.
• “Feeling the Energy” — A song about awakening and sensing the life force around and within us.
• “God Make It My Day” — An uplifting track about gratitude, presence, and making the most of every single day.
• “Bootees & Boobees” — A fun, playful, and lighthearted song that shows a completely different side of my writing.

There are over a dozen more songs waiting to be finished and released. They cover many chapters of my life — young love, heartbreak, resilience through injuries and surgeries, spiritual awakening, healing, and hope.

After writing them on guitar, I use modern production tools to upgrade the musical arrangements and shape the vocals so each song sounds exactly the way I heard it in my head when I first wrote it. It feels like having my own personal studio where I can bring in the perfect voice and energy for the story I want to tell. Some of the vocals are intentionally stylized and processed — they don’t always sound “traditional,” but they carry the exact feeling and journey I want the listener to experience.

Music has been one of the most consistent, healing, and joyful parts of my life through all the ups and downs — from building businesses to surviving three knee surgeries to creating new technology. It’s how I process the world and how I share the light I’ve found along the way.
