I am a publicist at SJK Public Relations, LLC , which prepares press releases, press kits and other marketing materials for musicians and businesses, and sometime freelance writer. SJK PR generates press for our musician clients in cities in which they perform and identify and involve our clients in cross-marketing opportunities aimed at increasing their profiles. Visit us at SJK Public Relations, LLC , and let us know how we can help! To review my writings, go to The National Ledger and search for my name or go to Jazz Quad to read about LiMBO. I have a few more articles coming before my focus turns solely to PR, so be on the lookout.Myspace Layouts

My Interests

Writing, reading, music, sports, and hanging out with friends.

I'd like to meet:

Sting because I've loved him for years.

All of our politicians so that I can give them a piece of my mind.

Music:

Ah, my tastes run the gamut. I love RNB/soul, pop, rock, jazz, blues, and classical.
