Welcome!

I’ve always dabbled with songwriting, but it wasn’t until my 60th birthday that I first sang in public. I sang because I had a story to tell---the story of my friendship with a Colombian man named Giovanny, and his 3,000-mile journey to the US. I wrote a series of songs which became an album, and the album became the soundtrack for a film, Journey with Giovanny. You can watch the 48-minute film, see individual music videos, and learn more about the journey by clicking below.

The second album in the love trilogy is called Angels, and it explores the concept of unconditional love. It’s intriguing to me that Angels has 16 songs, twice as many as Waterside. You can listen to Angels and watch some of the music videos below.

My book Stones from the Tumbler features 40 poems I compiled on my 40th birthday. You can read them and other more recent poems here.

I spent my childhood exploring the sandstone cliffs and wooded trails of my home town of Signal Mountain, Tennessee, just outside of Chattanooga. I wrote my first poem for my Mother when I was ten, and I've enjoyed storytelling through verse and rhyme ever since. To learn more about me, click here.
