With over 30 years of experience in the music industry, I've had the privilege of writing thousands of songs and working with a variety of artists and songwriters in genres like pop, country, dance, and hip-hop.

In addition to running At-Home Songwriting, I also teach lyric writing with Berklee College of Music Online. I hold a Certificate in Songwriting from Berklee and a diploma in Audio Engineering from The Recording Workshop in Chillicothe, OH. My journey in the music industry includes over 7 years of experience in commercial radio and running my own independent record label.

For more than a decade, I've been sharing my expertise in songwriting through online courses and community education programs. I also served as the Education Director for the Minnesota Association of Songwriters, where I organized songwriting workshops, lectures, and seminars to help songwriters hone their craft.

In 2021, I launched my YouTube channel, At-Home Songwriting, where I share tips, insights, and tutorials on songwriting. I also lead monthly workshops with other songwriters, encouraging them to develop their skills and achieve their goals.

My songs have been licensed and featured on TV shows across networks like HBO, MTV, WE, Fox Business, and Discovery. I've released over 300 of my songs on platforms like Spotify, Apple Music, and YouTube, reaching a global audience.
