I am a songwriter/composer/actor residing in my hometown of Lebanon, NH with my wife and two cats. I have been very involved with many of the arts over the past decade, and can look back on a lot of fun with friends and inspiring experiences. I was the lead singer for the Dartmouth College based band ‘Room 32’ from 2000 to 2002, wrote and directed the opera ‘The Silenced Lyre’ that debuted at the Old Church Theater in Bradford, VT in 2002, performed in nearly 20 theatrical productions across the New England region, and recorded a number of musical albums with various musicians and friends. The album ‘Wake Up Now’, released in 2008, represents my first ‘solo’ album.
I am excited to be involved with several new projects on the horizon. In 2007 I founded the film company ‘Myshkin Studios’ with Greg LeBlanc. I starred in the company’s first short film, titled ‘Missing Gerbil (and traveling snacks)’ released in 2008, and also provided the soundtrack. Our film company has several other projects in the works, and I anticipate participating at times as producer, director, actor, and composer for many of our future efforts.
Most of all I am excited to have the opportunity to continue to work with various creative, talented artists. I look forward to meeting new people and making the most of our collective abilities.

A lot of my musical influences are pretty common. I am definitely influenced by The Beatles, Brian Wilson, Woody Guthrie, and Bob Dylan. A few less common influences are They Might Be Giants, The Violent Femmes, and Pavement. However I think I have probably been influenced the most by various musicians I have played with over the years, particularly Cabot Nunlist (who in many ways I learned the basics of songwriting from) and Dave Mangold (who taught me how to ‘funk up’ my guitar playing at least a little bit).
