...and the places we make come alive
- Bedford, MA
- Suburban Boston town where I grew up, and also where I met my wife, Amy.
|
- Cleveland, OH
- I lived in Cleveland while I attended Case Western Reserve University's joint music program with the Cleveland Institute of Music. After my first semester, I was in an accident which put me in the hospital for a while, and caused me to lose my left leg (below knee). After the accident I decided to stay around Boston for a while.
|
- Boston, MA
- I lived in Boston while attending Boston College. Later, I worked for quite a while at the Berklee College of Music.
|
- Topanga, CA
- I moved to California and set up camp in Topanga for a few years. I met many fine musicians and friends.
|
- Concord, MA
- Returned to Massachusetts, met my wife, Amy Goode, and we started our family.
|
- Harvard, MA
- Quite a bit west of Boston, in Central Massachusetts, we had enough of a house to raise our family, some band rehearsal space, and a small barn for our horses.
|
- Normal, IL
- The folks at Illinois Wesleyan University heard about my work at the Berklee College of Music and made a good offer. We loaded up the truck, moved to the Midwest. We spent many good years in Normal, and met our good friends in Knights of Crisis.
|
- Spartanburg, SC
- Normal was fun, but the winters were tough, and we were far from family. The folks in Greenville and Spartanburg, South Carolina have been welcoming and gracious. We're enjoying southern living and making more friends.
