About Me

After so many amazing years in the music business, I decided it was time to get off the tour bus and try something new.
So I'm back in school working on a degree in nursing.
And thanks to some really good friends, I'm able to continue my passion for exploiting the music and art that I love.

Here are a few of my favorite memories I've taken along the way
