"I look forward to going to work every day!"

You may be wondering why I don't have a fan club, sell autographed photos of myself, have parties at my house, or do any of the countless things other local entertainers do to promote themselves in the music business.  Well, truth is, I've always been uncomfortable with the idea of thinking of myself as some kind of star.  I don't seek fame or fortune doing this.  I use music to help others and to make them feel better.  I guess that's why I went to college after high school and became a Music Therapist, instead of asking my family to promote me as a pop singer in L.A. or Nashville.  I took a route in the music industry that I was comfortable with, focusing my energy into getting a Bachelor's Degree in Music Therapy from Michigan State University and developing my work as a board-certified self employed traveling Music Therapist.  I work just about every day for senior care centers, rehabilitation centers, and hospitals in and around the Indianapolis area.

My gigs for the public are few and special to me.  I play for my local American Legion, of which I am a member, and for some really cool outdoor places in the summer.  You'll find me at the Rathskeller, Moon Dog Tavern in Indy and out of town at the Wheatley's Fish Fry in Wanamaker, Indiana, the Stray Dog Tavern in New Buffalo, Michigan and along the Ohio River at the River Boat Inn in Madison, Indiana.  I have CD's for sale on my website.  And of course, working as a wedding DJ and traveling to other cities is exciting and always feels like I'm taking a paid vacation doing something I love!
 

"I use my God given talents to help others and make them feel better, and in so doing make myself feel pretty good too.  I thank God every day for the gifts he has given me and the health to perform as often as I do."
