With over 30 years devoted to this business, I haved contracted hundreds of shows in 23 states and have met many well known musicians, too many to list. I just recently recieved a world wide disribution contract with Retrospect records for two albums i wrote in my previous band NASTY NASTY. I have performed in 23 states at which I was able to acquire numerous professional contacts from major record labels. The two bands I founded and performed with from 1983-1997 opened for such acts as Joan Jett, LA Guns, Bad Company, Foghat, Bullet Boys, Pat Travers, and Black Oak Arkansas, etc... In 1987, my bandmates and I won first place in a Illinois State Wide Battle of the Bands. We were able to then perform at the Kiel Auditorium in St. Louis, Mo. against 16 other bands in a four state competition where we placed fourth. Between the two bands, I have written and produced over 100 songs, logging thousands of hours in studio time. One record and three CD's later, I have moved onto local commercial writing for multiple radio stations, and started ESP Entertainment and Management Co. I have booked, promoted, and marketed over 100 bands from local to nationwide acts. Events I have performed, booked, and managed have been sponsored by Budweiser and Miller Corp.
