Retired from a diverse career 45+ years including architectural and interior design services. I offered my name to the last Board election after many years as a MBS member to learn more, support musical events and to increase awareness of the Madison Blues Society.

Growing up with the Beatles, and Elvis like so many, I began exploring record stores as a teen and being exposed to music related television programs in the 60’s and 70’s, as a devoted American Bandstand follower, opened my young eyes! Various concerts, community music events and live club performances over the years of all sorts have led more interest into blues, southern rock and rockabilly music for its emotional rhythms, relatable subject matter and so many impressive musicians.

Hoping to contribute some vitality to MBS and my own creative endeavors like photography, video productions, and music related interests.
