My Story

A Life Full of Stories. A New Chapter in Music.

For 45 years, I couldn’t make music the way I wanted to. But the passion never left.

Now I’ve finally found my way back.

I never imagined I would one day release an album of my own with fourteen songs. With This Is Reining, I’ve brought together two things that have meant so much to me throughout my life: music and my love of horses and reining.

These songs carry my memories, friendships, and experiences. And it feels good to turn them into music.

I play bass and guitar, and I contribute my own bass recordings to my music. Writing lyrics has also become an important part of how I share my stories. My focus is on creating songs that express the experiences, people, and moments that matter to me.

Now, modern technology has opened a door that had always felt closed. It gave me a way to take ideas, experiences and emotions and shape them into songs.

You’re never too old to return to something you love.

Why Now

There is a point in life when you stop worrying about whether something fits the expected path. You begin because the story matters to you.

These songs preserve moments: the long drives to shows, the pressure before a run, a horse that understands more than words can say, old friends found again, the quiet drive home.

This is a passion project. A creative chapter. A chance to keep learning—and to discover where an unexpected road might lead.
