About Me

I work all the time but I'm not a workaholic. I'm in love with my beautiful wife. My 10 year old can play any instrument she sets her mind to. My 3 year loves to rock. I have not played in front of an audience for 4 years. I've played guitar for 25 years. I learned the accordion when I was 3 years old. I was first chair Tuba all through 7th grade. I want to travel with my family. I can't wait to get out of the restaurant business.
