Hello, they call me Bruce.

I am a professional musician, web developer, teacher, and a co-founder of this web site.

The creative arts have been a lifelong fascination. For a period of about 20 years, pursuits in music performance took me around the world.

I am now settled in Phoenix, Arizona and by day I work in marketing and advertising at a local community college. I created this site myself and continuously work on it to keep things operating smoothly.

By night and on weekends I play 3rd (and acting principal) horn in the Arizona Opera Orchestra. I am also principal horn in the West Valley Symphony. I have enjoyed being been in both groups and freelancing in Phoenix since 1995.
