As the founder of NativeRadio.com and a veteran webmaster for jazz artist Andy Wasserman, I have spent 27 years leveraging technology to broadcast hundreds of live concerts and champion the vital contributions of First Nations musicians to the world.

About Me

As the founder of NativeRadio.com and an ethno-musicologist specializing in First Nations music for over 30 years, I have dedicated my career to documenting, preserving, and amplifying Indigenous musical traditions while highlighting their profound influence on music. Through nearly three decades of broadcasting, research, and industry relationships—receiving over 1,900 promotional albums—I have built a respected platform that bridges Native American artistry with the broader global music community. As webmaster for jazz pianist Andy Wasserman, I also engineered the technology that enabled 207 live-streamed concerts over four years from his studio using less than a 1 MB feed, seamlessly blending innovation with artistic expression. Beyond music and media, I am an inventor holding two patents, including U.S. Patent #4,311,407, reflecting a lifelong commitment to creative problem-solving and technical ingenuity. In 2014, I introduced the world to the Pad-Zilla®, recognized as the World’s Biggest Mouse Pads, further demonstrating my ability to transform bold ideas into tangible products. My career stands at the intersection of culture, technology, scholarship, and entrepreneurship-driven by a passion for innovation and a deep respect for the enduring power of Indigenous music.

My Jazz Story

I love jazz because it is a genre that feels less like a structured performance and more like a living, breathing conversation. I love it because of its inherent unpredictability; the way a familiar melody can suddenly veer into a daring improvisation, guided only by the intuition and chemistry of the musicians. It captures the full spectrum of human emotion, from the smoky, late-night ache of a solo saxophone to the explosive, rhythmic joy of a full big band. There is also a profound sense of freedom in jazz that you don't find anywhere else. It rewards deep listening, inviting you to follow complex syncopations and "blue notes" that mirror the beautiful messiness of real life. Whether it’s the intellectual challenge of bebop or the cool, atmospheric layers of modal jazz, the music always feels authentic, spontaneous, and timeless.

My House Concert Story

Over the course of four incredible years, I had the privilege of serving as webmaster for jazz musician Andy Wasserman, helping him bring 207 live stream jazz concerts directly to audiences around the world. By implementing cutting-edge streaming technology, I engineered a solution that allowed Andy to broadcast live from his personal studio using an impressively lean feed of less than 1 MB - proving that high-quality, intimate jazz experiences don't require massive bandwidth. From setting up the technical infrastructure to ensuring each performance went live without a hitch, my behind-the-scenes work helped Andy connect with his fans in a deeply personal and consistent way. It was a labor of love that combined a passion for technology with a deep appreciation for the art of jazz.
