Lafayette Music League...plug in!

About Me


I'm the founder of Lafayette Music League , a 501(c) non-profit organization of local musicians, fans, & promoters in the Greater Lafayette region. Our goal is to raise awareness about local music in the area and educate the community about what is right here under their nose! We organize bi-monthly shows, put together yearly Compilation Cds, and organize charitable events. Our message board is one of the most active in the Lafayette area, and our website was voted 2nd only to jconline.com for best local website.
I'm also involved with a local cable access show, Midwest Nights, where I "host" the Local Music Lowdown. Check it out Friday nights at 6pm, Sundays nights at 10pm, on Lafayette cable channel 13. It's part Entertainment Tonight, part Wayne's World,all local entertainment!
I am also a proud husband & father. I have a teenage daughter whom I only see every other weekend and wish she could be a bigger part of our family. I also have a 3yr. old son who has autism, he has truly taught me to see the world from a different perspective. And my wife is the one who keeps me going everyday. Between them and my hobbies, life is very busy!
