About Me

  I love music, film and theater and not always in that order. I started out with every intention in majoring in Commercial Music but ended up as a Stage Management major at Auburn University at Montgomery. After leaving college, I worked as everything you could think of with bands and theaters. I've been a rigger, a stage op., a P.A. (production and personal), wardrobe, stage management, sound and light design, board op. and on and on and on. I'm now out of the business, working in Logistics for a Company back in North Alabama. In the last few years, I've rediscovered my first love of music and though I don't know that I have any more to give than moral support and $15 for a CD, I still love to sing and make music at any opportunity. I have a special place in my heart for those that indulge me. The ones of you still out there living the dream and fighting the battles on the front line inspire me. I love you all.

My Interests

I'd like to meet:

Those that share my passion for the arts.

In the Words of George Carlin...

I truly wanted to write something reflective of the times I would sit alone and listen to George Carlin long before I knew why the bannister longed to have someone slide down it when I was a kid. ...
