I currently work in the music industry and the performing and visual arts areas. I also get involved with aspects of the entertainment industry on a local, regional and national level.
I am a manager, booking agent and publicist for Luke Austin Daugherty and a booking agent for a few other bands (e.g. Ann McWilliams, Amanda Shelly Band, etc.). I also organize tours and concerts and help book national artists when they are coming thru Indiana. I am all about helping indies and I specialize in the singer/songwriter style.
Luke and I work under his company, Pilgrim's Journey Media (tm). Under this company we do recording, publishing, booking, concert productions & promotions and other various activities in the entertainment/music industry, along with the visual arts scene.
We also have co-founded a new art series in Indianapolis called "Robbing the Bank." We had 3 events in 2008 and 3 are scheduled for 2009 (May 1, July 3, Sept. 4).

I am also a freelance writer. I had a column in ICN and The Chronicle for three years where I covered performing arts and entertainment.
In my "previous life," I was in executive management and sales for companies in the information technology and telecommunications industries nationally and internationally.
I have also been a volunteer all of my life...everything from the Mental Health Association, to United Way, to Heartland Film Festival...and all those great city events years ago like the Sports Festival, Pan Am Games, etc.

My pic in the upper left corner of the page was taken at the historic Artcraft Theatre in Franklin, IN during a photo shoot by Cheri Herron (www.fotosbycheri.com) for Luke's "Lexi Danced" CD releace concert on St. Pat's day 2007.
