Influences and Teachers

Carol Kaye - Had the pleasure of taking lessons from her at First Bass in Denver, CO in the early 90s. Carol fixed many deficiencies in my musicale understanding, particularly around 'chordal' playing.

Jeff Floyd -My first bass teacher, awesome guitar player and musician. Taught at Crescendo Music in Littleton CO in the early 80's. He got me off to a great start with music. I still have the notes from all my lessons with Jeff - solid material.

Bill Francoeur - Bill was the music director of the Little High School vocal jazz/pop group, "The Littleton Singers" in the eighties. Everyone who was a part of the Littleton Singers knows how Bill was an enormous influence.

Norman Greenhouse - "Mr Greenhouse" was the concert master of the Littleton Symphony Orchestra, and my violin teacher throughout high school - an amazing human being.

Hobbies and Interests

The relationship between music and Mathematics (i.e., Galios theory as it applies to keys and chord progressions.). K9 training.
