Retired in Kitsap County near Seattle. Writing music, editing DVD's for the Navy Musicians Association Archives, playing in three different bands and playing the house husband role for Diane who is teaching school (orchestra) in the local public school system. Fixing up and spending time at our cabin in the foothills of the Olympic Mountains. Trying to keep up with "where is Annie this time!" Enjoying life with my beautiful wife. Going to Mariners games. Hanging out with Tex Waldron at his jazz club "Tula's" in Seattle. And that just about covers it!

To watch mini movies of interview and features by the Navy Musicians Association Archives department:
After one year in St Pete at Lealman Jr High my musical experience and education continued in Coral Gables, Florida. First with Mr. Blum at Ponce de Leon Jr High and then at Coral Gables High with Mr. Cook and Mr. Paul Cremachi. I played clarinet in the band and string bass in the orchestra with Mr. Cremachi. I feel so fortunate to have had the chance to attend one of the best high school in the country. My memories of my junior high and high school days are among the best in my life.
