    Drummer:


    Known for an erratic improvisational style and a heavy right foot.
    Jazz trained but seasoned in rock clubs across the North America and Europe. I am comfortable playing in a wide range of settings, from jazz, to rock, to folk and especially experimental and improvisational settings. I've been the progenitor of numerous groups including the Emo-punk innovators Junction, the infamous Delta 72, and Dischord Record's Capitol City Dusters of whom the UK's Q Magazine said, "...Dischord has struck another vein of precious musical ore".

    Recently I've been performing with Sarah Azzara and her group Candy Coated Pain Pills, Pup Tent, a stream of consciousness punk group with Phil Duarte and Ted Watts, the genre defying DCIC (DC Improvisers Collective), the avant-garde ensemble The Caution Curves and folk-rockers, Sean McArdle and Stella Schindler.

    Poet:

    I have been writing poetry and short fiction for as long I as I've been playing drums. I received an English degree from Penn State and have published and read sporadically around the Washington DC area.

    Literary exploration of reason, time and matter.
    Recently I have started writing within the constraints of Twitter at PoemTwits. I am challenged by this publishing outlet and it encourages me to be concise and poignant. My latest Blog project is "Waiting for the Singularity" where I explore longer themes often based on PoemTwits.

    Web Design:

    When I build a site, I approach it as if I was a master-craftsman building a custom cabinet. I make sure all the pieces fit uniformly, sand all the corners, and make sure all the joints and hinges are straight and operate correctly. I code all by hand—I literally type in the HTML code without the help of software. Each page I create is a custom fit.

    As an artist myself, I am sensitive to the artistic needs and aspirations of others. I have been working on the web since 1996 and I have extensive knowledge of user behavior and can shape a site, balancing the goals of the client with the expectations of users.

    I want to help solidify the artist's web presence.
    My designs are inspired by graphic design artist Reid Miles who did the famous mid-century Blue Note LP covers. The power and simplicity within his work is something I try to emulate. The emotional evocation that Reid Miles could create with a single image and a limited colour and font palette is a perfect artistic challenge for HTML.
