I'm a semiprofessional musician, based in the Kansas City area. I helped establish two music collectives, Sacred & Secular and Friar and the Monastery Boys (and Girls); and play in a roots rock cover band, El Solo and The Responders. I'm particularly interested in expanding the pool of musicians and following of Sacred & Secular, a project overseen by Mo-Mutt Music and Shade Tree Entertainment that promotes multi-faith, multicultural musical collaboration.
