I'm a 3rd generation Oregonian, and a 5th generation musician. I am a composer, guitarist, recording artist, Music therapist. Have toured and played music all over the US, and have lived and played in Europe, and Mexico. Worked with the elders as a Music Therapist for 17 years. Love, wilderness, natural beauty, the Arts, creativity, and humor are important to me. I have the "host gene" along with my wife Christine, and wish to share our place with people who want adventure, exploration, peace, quiet, and solitude in a beautiful, remote location. Christine is originally from Manhattan, NYC, lived and studied for almost 20 years in Europe, and translates French and Portuguese, as well as speaking a bit of Spanish, Italian, German, and Russian.

Back of Beyond is the perfect jumping off point for adventure and exploration! Private, fenced, with no other full time residents living just off of Camas Prairie. We fell in love with this place and decided to leave Portland, and build our dream here!
