I have served as Director of the Folk Music Ensemble program at Brigham Young University for 20 years. I have authored several music books during that time. I own a publishing company and a non-profit corporation. I play music with my family (my wife, 3 kids, and myself). I recorded more than 10 albums of hymns and other sacred melodies using acoustic instruments such as: guitar, mandolin, banjo, piano, fiddle/violin, dulcimer, bass, and many stringed, woodwind, and brass instruments. I don't play all of these instruments, but I do play most of those listed first. I love traditional American music, traditional music from the British Isles, and folk-influenced pop, jazz, and classical music.
