About Me

I’m a nice guy most of the time. Depending on the day, I can have many different moods. I’m sure that many people get first impressions that I’m shy, while other people that meet me on different days think I’m outgoing and maybe even a little too confident. Either way, those who get to know me usually find I can actually be a good mix of both areas. Part of me tends to be more on the wilder side, while part also leans toward responsibility, punctuality, and organization. This is where the “boring” attributes come from, but I believe it also is the qualities that make me want to be successful so I can do all the things I want to do someday. I would like to have plenty of money in the future, and I try to continue to do well in school, my internship, and business relationships. Right now I am acquiring a BBA degree with a major in Music Business. I spent the last semester interning at Toby Keith’s management company and was with Sony/ATV Music Publishing this past summer in the synchronization department. I was in the synch department again for this current Fall semester until being bumped up to a temp position in the Global Royalties Center. I still help out the synch crew when I can. I am learning a lot and meeting some very influential and inspiring people. I actually play music as well, primarily the piano and keyboard. I am also intermediate at electric guitar, drums, and bass. I have had the privilege in playing at several big, cool gigs in Nashville and my hometown area (Paducah and southern IL) and recently experienced my first tour bus trip for a show in eastern Kentucky. Playing professionally has always been something that I’d like to do, and will continue to keep that option open in addition to the business side of the music industry. Hopefully, I’ll be wealthy enough in the future to do all kinds of fun things before I get too old, especially traveling. I am a big geography guy, and want to see as much of our world as possible. Other than that, I love to stay healthy and in shape. I love free time and having fun!
