I am so happy you have somehow managed to find me here, afloat in the vast sea known as the internet!

​

Here are the three most important things you should know about me.

1.  I am currently writing my third novel, the second in the FREEHAND 2173 Series (Climate Fiction) and am producing/hosting all manner of creative events in Long Beach, California.  I have been a fierce independent artist for over twenty years, releasing four full length albums with my band WAXAPPLES, writing/directing/producing a feature length music documentary called Cadillac Tramps, Life on the Edge, creating and executing a mixed media art project about Los Angeles called Intersecting (LA), and writing/publishing a dystopian time travel novel called FREEHAND 2173.

2. I believe that daily creative rituals, whether you call yourself an artist or not, make us better humans and immensely improve our quality of life and how we view and interact with the world around us.  I love to share my own philosophies and experiences with creative living, alongside my creations, in hopes of inspiring others to incorporate daily creative rituals into their lives.  

​​

3. I have come to the conclusion, over my many years in the entertainment business, that the best way for us to make a meaningful connection is IRL and for that to happen, we have to find each other.  Subscribing to my email list helps make that happen. 

Don't worry!  I do not send weekly emails (I get too many emails myself)  and I do not now nor will I EVER sell your email address.  Ever.  Instead I periodically reach out to keep you abreast of all the creative things I happen to be up to and often invite you to come along, in some capacity, and see if anything I am doing or creating resonates with you.  

​

Now more than ever, we need community, connection and joyful inspiration.  I hope that in some way, how I live and create can offer a little slice of those things to you.

XO-
