                        An American drummer living in Iceland trying not to disturb the huld&uacute;f&oacute;lk.
                    </p>
                    <p>
                        With nearly four decades as a professional musician, I&rsquo;ve had the privilege of performing all over the world. Starting off in Virginia as a rock drummer, I infiltrated the jazz scene, moved to New York City, and now live in Iceland. I&rsquo;ve released five albums as a leader and have been lucky enough to record and perform with people much more talented than myself.
                    </p>
                    <p>
                        But music has always been part of a bigger obsession: creativity itself &ndash; how it works, why it stalls, what it looks like across disciplines. That curiosity led me to design, to writing, and eventually to Keep the Flow, a podcast about the creative process for musicians, designers, writers, and anyone else who makes things.
It all connects. 
                    </p>
                    <p>
                    I&rsquo;m just trying to figure out how.
