I'd been in Nashville for nearly 30 years. It's been a great learning experience. I've learned that I can write some pretty good songs. I've worked as a journalist writing reviews for Music Row magazine. I've hosted songwriters nites at some great venues ie: Douglas Corner Cafe, Caffe Milano and Manhattans. I've managed artists and had them play live in the offices of major labels. I've even helped some aspiring songwriters get their first publishing deal.

Over the past few years I've had a radio show at Volstate College in Gallatin, TN and at the same time learned to become an audio engineer. I'm now able to track edit and mix in the digital world or I can run sound live at any venue.

I retired from the day job scene and my dear wife and I are now living in the Villages in Florida.
