About Me

When not busy as hell building my business (music artist development and management), I am also the founder and Executive Director of the Inspire 'em Foundation, a non-profit organization dedicated to assisting low income families as well as at-risk youth,secure musical instruments and education.
We are currently working hard to extend this program to orphanages, juvenile facilities and children's hospitals.
I believe that music is the ultimate form of inspiration and healing. Everyone should have an opportunity to learn to play, create and/or dream regardless of their individual circumstances.
If you are an artist or band interested in participating in any of our upcoming fundraisers, I would love to hear from you. We also are ALWAYS looking for instrument donations.
It is all about music and art ...all of the time...oh, and a great cup of coffee in hand!
I'm here for networking, great new music and to touch base with my Las Vegas/Cirque du Soleil friends that I am missing tons!
