I’ve been a lot of things in life and the future is wide open, God willing. Life presents opportunities to you every day, the key is to keep your eyes and mind open to them. The more I pursue the more I learn and the more the world opens up.
I started in eastern Pennsylvania living throughout and around the Lehigh Valley for most of my early life. Macungie, PA was the first real place that I consider home. From elementary school up through high school I spent most of my time pursuing music, singing and stage performance with occasional breaks for baseball, bicycles, ping pong and computer games.
I studied at The Pennsylvania State University where I achieved a BS in Civil Engineering. The bulk of my education came outside of the classroom writing and making music with my friends or on the volleyball court with my team mates. State College, PA was the second place I considered home. I loved it so much that I stayed a few years after graduation, playing music and working various jobs to pay the bills. My intention was always to move to Los Angeles, New York City or Nashville to pursue a professional career in a bigger market until I met my future wife and a good friend convinced me to check out Atlanta.
We’ve lived here since 1998 and I consider Atlanta my home. I live here with my wife and kids and have run my own consultancy and other business ventures since 2004 while keeping one foot in the creative community in one way, shape or form. Music has become a personal pursuit and a way of encouraging my kids. I’ve diverted much of my creative energy into story writing, screenwriting and film these days.
Who knows what the future holds? There’s always something new and challenging on the horizon. Sometimes it is hard to choose.
