I'm blessed with healthy and happy children. I sold my drums last year. :(
I have a small audio studio at home and I enjoy writing and producing radio ads and voice work when I can. I recently provided the voice for the Credit Union National Association's recent radio campaign. Fun Stuff! My first national voice over!! Hoping to continue to work at that on the side as I "mature!" Who knows, perhaps I can be the voice-over guy for AARP! Ha! Can't wait to see you all again!

Not much has changed here. What a wonderful place to grow-up!
