Somehow this lost the LuteNet mailing address when it went out. May still be of interest to someone.

He is a touring professional with at least 5 commercial CDs to his credit and another in the oven. On the Ukulele Disco page he has a video in which he gives a nice clear introduction on how to do one of his strums, a live concert clip, and another that is an interview (scroll down to "Season 4" and look for his name). He also has a nicely done web page of his own.
