In contrast to the tranquil beauty of Flathead Lake and the colorful summertime larch and fir unspooling across unblemished ranchland, a venomous presence lurks in the caves and hills, intent on destroying innocent lives.

Currently, he plays traditional jazz with the prestigious Gerald Wilson Orchestra, while exploring more contemporary sound creation with his own group, "The Next Step."
