I first learned the guitar, before later picking up the drums, bass, trumpet, and a few others. Initially, I played exclusively at home in family jam sessions, but eventually moved on to playing drums and guitar in a small town church for a few years. In college, I played the guitar and was the singer of an alternative rock band (<em>Left Coast Envy<\/em>). We played a couple shows and released an EP (which is still floating around on the Internet somewhere).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center wp-block-paragraph\">After the band wound down and with considerably less time to focus on music, I spent the next decade mostly playing occasionally at home, with friends and family as my primary audience. In early 2024 I decided it was time to start creating music once again and began to work on a new project. That effort has resulted in two songs released so far and a full album expected later this year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center wp-block-paragraph\">Thanks for visiting!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Welcome!
