Occupation Flutemaker
Location Hermosa Beach, California, United States
Introduction After building flutes for a number of years now, I sneeze sawdust, and it scares my cat. That being said, it is however an absolute drop dead, no joke passion for me. When I'm not eating sawdust, I'm searching the entire planet for the most beautiful, exotic/bizarre woods, and gemstones I can find. I plow every dime back into purchasing these items, in addition to a few margarita supplies....... I don't follow, or pretend to understand a lot of the cardinal rules of flutemaking, and the end product seems to indicate I'm better off for it. PLUS, I continue to make great friends on a daily basis, most of whom possess humbling talent. ...Ya won't find that working at a carwash, even if it does pay better.
Interests Building flutes & performing, bar hopping in Mexican border towns, fiddling with creative carpentry to keep my house from falling over.
Favorite Music World Music mostly. Lisa Gerrard vocals, Jesse Cook guitar, Djivan Gasparian Duduk, Chris Botti, Two Steps from Hell, ZZ Top, Luis Miguel, and real swampy Southern Rock laid down by my friend Austin Hanks.
Favorite Books Non-fiction and not much of that. Last book, The elegant Universe' by Brian Greene, and my retirement newsletter to see if they've listed me as dead.
