I am a business owner and Electric Guitarist. My professional endeavors include owning several IT consulting firms for nearly 20 years and playing the Electric Guitar for approximately 5 years.I was blessed by finding the woman of my dreams on November 11, 1984 and we married on December 28, 1988. We are the proud parents of twin daughters and our son. We live in the suburbs of St. Louis, Missouri (just bestowed with the title of the most dangerous city in America). I̢۪ve done my best to be a loving husband and father to my lovely wife and children and strive to provide them all with the absolute best life experience I can.Both of my parents are in excellent health and raised my 3 sisters and I to excell in everything we did. My mother provided all the love and guidance a child could ever dream of. My father provided the business and life skills needed to make our lives productive ones. They both have showed us the many ways to achieve our goals.The Information Technology companies I̢۪ve owned and presently own specialize in the Microsoft Windows and UNIX computing environments (although, I worked in mainframe environments early in my career, MVS is the coolest!). My client base includes fortune 50 and midsized corporations. My firms (past and present) focus on the distribution of software in an automated fashion to hundreds of thousands of PC̢۪s, workstations and file servers. They also specialize at the server Operating system level.The tools used to accomplish these tasks are Microsoft̢۪s SMS 2003, HP Radia and IBM̢۪s Tivoli all utilizing some form of SQL as the data repository. RealTime Systems and Solutions is my most recent startup and is an archecture, design and implementation provider.My live performances have included locations in both North America and Europe. I am a sideman for one of the greatest if not the greatest Entertainers of all time. This person has been described as a Rock n Roll Troubadour. He was the first inductee into the Rock n Roll Hall of fame, has received a Kennedy Center Honor and many other accolades pertaining to entertainment and music.To date, the coolest experiences have been live performances in Key Largo Florida, Paris France, Geneva and Zurich Switzerland, Rome Italy, Las Vegas Nevada and my favorite place to perform BlueBerry Hill in University City (St. Louis) Missouri.By now, I've performed in front of nearly 200,000 people. Most of my performances are done as pro bono to the front man. I still feel I̢۪m learning how to do this band stuff and am letting our front man and the others in the band teach me about this business. One of my sisters also performs in the band and has been a tremendous help getting me acclimated.
