He is a composer, guitarist
and producer who has played the guitar since
around the age of 12. He first
worked as a carpenter with his own company but continued to work with music
and composed for theatre productions for Stanford University. His first album The Search for the Turtle's Navel was recorded after the
encouragement of his friends and met with enough success that allowed him
to concentrate on music on a full time basis. He works from Windham Hill Studios
by performing and recording himself, or producing albums for other artists
that include Alex de Grassi and George Winston. He is credited with being a factor in
the rise of acoustic guitar music as a popular form from the 1970s and 1980s.
