I'm a successful, widely-published professional freelance writer and award-winning business writer, with many articles published in the Tennessean, the Nashville Business Journal, and numerous other newspapers, magazines and websites around the country. Currently working with an agent to get my first novel published. I’ve also been involved in the music business for 30+ years, as a multi-instrumentalist, singer, teacher, manager, publicist, reviewer, production assistant and engineering assistant, with both major stars and absolute nobodies. Also worked for years in radio as a classical and jazz announcer, newsman and talk show host. And I’m the only person I know in Nashville who was on the Gong Show. Moved to Nashville, like everyone, to get some songs cut and retire off the mailbox money. Accomplished public speaker; Nashville Toastmasters member ATM-Bronze level and incoming chapter president. Originally from the IA-IL Quad-Cities, also lived in Michigan, L.A., and Las Vegas.
