What I do. and more.I'm really just a throwback to late 60's to early 70's music scene. Folk rock, classic rock, singer/song writer...I love that style, and I stay focused on what I do best. I have played acoustic guitar for 35 years...and piano for 20 years, so from James Taylor to Pink Floyd, Elton John to Jackson Browne, if you love classic rock, I'm at Chetola in Blowing Rock every Thur, Fri. and Sat. nite 6-9. Beautiful does not fully describe Chetola. It's like driving into a postcard,  a great place to relax and meet friends. I'll play, you sing along. Someone wrote this about me a few years ago, this might explain what I do.

My wife Tammi and I also operate Lighthouse Ministries which provide food and groceries for 200 + individuals every month. Behind our home is a food bank stocked with 3 ton of canned goods to shop from. We really try to give back to others what we have recieved, Grace and Mercy. My job allows Tammi and I to be at home durning the day and give out to those who have been grinded on the wheel of life. We are a non-profit 501C so if you ever wish to help, call or email.
