Thank you for visiting my profile. I am a professional singer/songwriter as well as an accomplished pianist and published poet. I am currently working on my new CD which is due for release some time next year. Let me know if you would like a preview of the songs to come. I also work as a residential instructor of life skills for special needs children. I have been involved with this for nine years now and although it is at times very difficult, the rewards are immeasurable. But it is the type of work that is strictly black and white. There is no gray area. You either can or cannot do this type of work. Those in the field know exactly what I am talking about. I believe that if you can impress me with your mind then you can impress me with your beauty. I would love real people to contact me and not the ones that are currently somewhere other than where they claim they are from. Can you say spam???
Peace...

Creating beautiful music, both music and lyrics. I have many songs and I am looking forward to the response I will get from my up and coming CD. It is a refreshing sound that blends contemporary, rock, jazz and blues with very strong and versatile vocals and harmony arrangements. Not to be missed.

Full time father of a beautiful thirteen year old daughter who has brought me more joy in life than I could have ever imagined possible. She is my rock, my inspiration, and I feel blessed to be able to share with her all the positive knowledge and feelings that I can.

Creating music, poetry and song is what I have done and am doing for the better part of my life. I am carrying the torch that my parents lit in the music industry. Although I no longer tour the country in performance, or even perform locally anymore, I am working tirelessly on my upcoming CD which is due for release by Spring 2009. At least that's the plan.

Making others laugh and feel happy is something that I have always treasured. Laughter is great exercise... like jogging on the inside. It is vital in any and all relationships and is part of the life blood in which happiness and joy will flow.

being a devoted father and teacher of life skills as well as common sense with a comedic flair.

creating music which I will do until my last breath of life. It is what I do best and have always done since I was old enough to climb up onto my father's piano stool and tickle the ivories.

making people laugh. Laughter has a healing quality like no other. It's great exercise... sort of like jogging on the inside. And it can add years to your life making it much more of a quality of existence.

sports, both participating and as a spectator. I have always been physically active. I want to get better at playing golf... that's if I can find a golfing partner. I am lefty but I can also play righty.

holding my breath for long periods of time... self explanatory.

steering clear of smokers
kissing... Mmmmmmm!!!

my creativity with words and the wealth of vocabulary I can possess for any given situation. My confidence.

Dean Koontz and John Saul for fictional books
daily newspapers and online news for current events

mystery and suspense movies are what I enjoy. Nothing like a good psychological thriller.

Lies and the Lying Liars Who Tell Them... by Al Franken. If you are of sound mind and are not a right wing wacko who believes every word that Rush Limbaugh, Sean Hannity, Karl Rove, or Ann Coulter spews in the media, then you HAVE to read this book.

whatever food I am in the mood to create as I love to cook and I am very good at it. It is not unlike creating music as far as the imagination goes.

My daughter
My music
Oxygen
Water
Food
Sex
in no particular order after my daughter of course.

what new song I can create. I have no set formula I use to write my music, my lyrics or my poetry. It just comes out of me when the creative process is there.

-Since Americans throw rice at weddings, do Asians throw hamburgers?
-If you play a blank CD at full volume, will the mime next door get pissed?
-The Scarecrow got a brain, Tin Man got a heart, Lion got courage, Dorothy got home, what did Toto get?

Either taking care of my daughter or out performing with some band.

I can write with my feet. Not as good as with my hands but you can read it and it doesn't look like pigeon scratch.

you have a pulse, can think clearly, and enjoy laughter.
