Deeply rooted in Austin’s music scene since the 1990s, this longtime musician, songwriter, and family practice physician has spent decades contributing to the city’s creative community, both on and off the stage. As the founder of Sol Medicine, a small independent medical practice, he has cared for countless Austin musicians over the years, building lasting friendships and connections throughout the local music scene.

​

His musical style is best described in his own words as “heavy western — Marty Robbins gone bad.” It's a fitting description of a sound that draws from traditional Western storytelling while embracing a darker, grittier, and more unconventional musical edge.

​

His musical history reads like a tour through Austin’s underground scene. During the 1990s, he lived in a loft on South Congress that became a gathering place for local musicians and bands, including Oliver Rajmani. His own musical adventures during that era included the bands Doghead and EMOS (Evil Men of Science), reflecting the experimental and independent spirit that defined much of Austin's alternative music culture.  He previously performed in Tequila Trio, a duo with Forest Johnson, known for leading the band Wino Vino. The project recorded at Mixture Recording Studio with Mark Youngersmith, adding another chapter to his extensive musical history.​​
