I learned to play guitar in the 80's by buying tablature for my favorite heavy metal songs. I picked up an acoustic guitar in college and helped lead worship services for the Christian group on campus. I enjoy composing music and have built up a small home studio over the years.
Prior to the first U-656 search expedition in 2010 I invested in HD video equipment to document the search and eventual moment of discovery that we're still waiting for. In the meantime, I have enjoyed the opportunity from time to time to use my prosumer equipment for work videos or for just having fun with my kids.
