Jack Cavanaugh has been writing and performing original songs throughout most of his adult life. Along with making music, he spent a career devoted to the art of teaching and learning: as a classroom teacher, a producer of educational TV, and the director of instructional products at Apple Inc.

Now he’s able to spend a lot more time writing and singing songs, making music with friends, and building things in his garage.

In March, he released his first album of children’s music, No Finer Tree Climber.

He lives in the dazzling and delightful city of San Francisco, California, with his wife and daughter.
