I've been a full time professional bass player since graduating. It hasn't been easy but it's been rewarding.
My wife TJ and I just celebrated our 28th wedding anniversary. Last year we fulfilled a long time dream and after 23 years living in The Southside Park neighborhood in downtown Sacramento we relocated to the Northern Oregon Coast, first to a mobile home in Seaside and now in our dream house in Warrenton.
I thought I was coming up here to retire but we (TJ is an artist and musician) landed in a vibrant arts and music scene here on the Coast and before I knew it I was booking 5-10 shows a month with 4 bands.
Life is good, better than I could have hoped.
We grew up in historic times and I'm still pretty obsessed with all that we were in the middle of. People say I live in the past but the past lives in me.
