| Introduction | All-around music nerd and more recently a bird nerd; I'm a long-time classical music lover and formerly a performer in the Portland area. I have performed as a bass/baritone with the Portland Symphonic Choir and Bach Cantata Choir, and as a keyboardist with Classical Revolution PDX among other engagements. I write primarily for Oregon ArtsWatch, and other outlets I have written for Hollywood Star, Willamette Week, Primer Magazine and Classical Voice North America. I am the Field Notes Editor for Oregon Birds Magazine, and I live in Milwaukie with my wife Kristin and our two dogs Django and Pugsley. |
