A multi-instrumentalist (woodwinds, keyboards and guitar) he worked in the music industry for 2 decades as an artist and recording engineer. In Los Angeles he was a staff engineer at Motown’s Hitsville Recording Studios and later a sound effects editor for weekly animation television shows including Voltron, Dino Riders and Winnie the Pooh.
