Hello

Welcome to my world of custom songwriting! I am a passionate songwriter based in Portland, OR, with over 30 years of experience playing guitar and writing songs, including 15 years dedicated to custom songwriting. My approach is both heartfelt and engaging, as I strive to learn about the unique stories of each individual I work with. Whether it’s a birthday, wedding, or a tribute to someone's life, my songs capture the essence of personal experiences and emotions.

​

I specialize in creating songs that help people tell their life stories, making them a meaningful gift, especially for older adults. The process involves intimate interviews, allowing me to connect with the person for whom the song is being written, as well as their loved ones. I believe that everyone has a story worth telling, and I am here to help honor those stories through music. As an active member of the songwriting community in Portland, I am connected to many talented musicians, which enriches my creative process. Let’s work together to create a beautiful legacy project that resonates with you and your loved ones.
