For many years now I have been working on perfecting my recording art. My twin brother, James and I, are producing an album of beautiful folk-rock & world fusion music called REMEDY. We have received tremendous help from many extremely talented musicians along the way. We would love to complete a few more records before moving off-planet but this is asking quite a lot from life. It is our main objective to be able to finally publish and perform these creative works on a regular basis.

I try to walk several miles on the beautiful beach everyday and body-surf as much as possible. These are my main ways of coping with and enjoying existence. I am also very fortunate to have a truly loving wife and the blessed circumstances for a rather simple life that allows me to somehow maintain - in the struggle for art - to produce my music. I have given everything to the song-children. As ephemeral as canvasses of sound are, they may be my only real legacy.

In previous employment I have served as a taxi-driver, puzzle-maker, actor, ditch-digger and then after much rehabilitation & education as a psychotherapy intern specializing in dual-diagnosis, chemical dependency treatment and recovery. I have known these forms of intense suffering both personally and professionally from the inside out. Working both in the United States and India, I particularly enjoyed facilitating personal growth through dream-work and other therapeutic group processes. Eco-psychology also holds a particular fascination for me along with Jungian synchronicity theory and shamanic healing practices.
