When it comes to crafting a bio and tackling the classic “Who are you?” question, my response is often infused with a dash of my wicked humor, leading me to ponder, “Sometimes I wonder…”

On a more serious note, I am a singer/songwriter whose debut album, “Chaos & Grace,” hit the airwaves in June 2023, firmly planting itself in the Americana genre.

While I love to sing and write songs, I consider myself an entertainer, having fun with my audience, giving them some backstories to the songs, sharing a laugh, thus allowing them to forget about their troubles, at least for a little while. But as much as I love all of that, the thing that brings me the most joy, is connecting with my audience.

Beyond the melodies, I wield a rhythm guitar and hold the title of a multi-award-winning author, known by the moniker The Vermont Homesteader. With two published physical books, “Life is Good: Wit & Wisdom From a Vermont Homesteader” and “The Vermont Homesteader’s Christmas Memories: Wit, Wisdom & Holiday Recipes,” along with three Kindle Select Short cookbooks, I’ve woven my tales both musically and literarily.

Outside the realms of music and writing, I proudly wear the hat of a mother to four boys, three dogs, four cats, and a flock of clucking chickens. Amidst these roles, I tend to a large garden, revel in the joys of cooking and baking, and derive immense pleasure from nourishing the bodies and souls of those near and dear to me.
