About Me |
|
| I love art. Especially music.I studied music at the University of Utah and completed a degree in music composition. I was married for 15 years until 2006 when I lost my best friend and wife Heidi. She died of complications from a severe injury—- I miss taking care of her. We have a beautiful son named Anton and he reminds me so much of Heidi. He is such a good kid— I am so lucky. Some of the recordings I have played saxophone on: Iceburn- Poetry of Fire, Engine Kid Split (Rite of Spring Improvisation called "Danses"), "Moon" from the Joseph Smith sessions (Art Monk), and Meditavolutions. Upcoming recordings with Wade Waters, Quentin Cook, Andrew Lovegrove, Nusuth, and whoever else will let me honk on their recordings.I have played with:Iceburn, Gentry Densley, Dirge Quartet, Wade Waters, Quentin Cook, Andrew Lovegrove, Jordan Rudd... | |
