My Story



I grew up in a small town in central Florida son of a house painter I worked for my dad and practiced my music and dreamed I would be a star well the star thing never happened and 35 years later I'm still trying to be a star the only difference is now I found a video on you tube that has changed everything I'll tell you more in a little while...



Where I am today



I am successful singer/keyboard player and work for Breezin Entertainment I work in beautiful sunny Florida year round in the best 5 star hotels and convention Venues State wide I teach others computerized music and make A good solid living doing what I love I consider myself very lucky to have And thank god for my gifts I am married with two children 12 and 6,



My Dilemma



But even with my talent and good fortune there we always are struggling to Make our payments even with two incomes it just enough in today's economy so like a lot people I started a home based business and followed the plan to the letter trying sell to my friends and family but I had no luck and failing was very new to me I had always come out on top in everything in my life but I was not going to give up so I started searching and the most amazing thing happened




My love for music began at the early age of 4 listening to 78rpm Opera records my grandma would send from California I would spend hours listening and conducting the RCA stereo with number 2 pencil memorizing Every movement not really normal for a 4 year old but quite normal for me I seemed to understand music and was able repeat anything I heard even to this day I still don't know where it comes from it just does




My first taste of the Music Business



In 1971 a junior in High School I traveled to Nashville and Recorded my first record is playing drums at that time and it was a gospel album and toured that entire summer it was a great time for a 15 year old kid and I learned much from that experience and really enjoyed the Grand old Opry.




Dreaming came easy for me I was a day dreamer working in construction with my dad I would imagine my self being a star on TV and movies as I was painting homes and buildings the work was hard but my hopes and dreams made the time go by faster even today I spend time just closing my eye's and seeing a different reality and that's what brought me to my next point in this story



What do you do when its time be the grown up?



When my mother passed away I realized that I was a grown-up now and I had to make my mark in life so stepped up my musical career and started playing even more gigs traveling and playing anywhere that I could make a buck I was single and loving it with everything that comes with it I met my wife in 1989 and life took a turn for me now knowing I had to plan a future for us it was no longer about me but about us and in 1995 my son was born Scott and was the greatest thing that ever happen to me until 2001 And my daughter Kirsten was born these were pinnacle times in my life and you must remember these times they shape our future and define us as people



"When the call comes will you be ready"



Since 1980 I have used computers at home on stage they have been a part of my life day and night so the internet happened I was on it and loving it as I watched the World Wide Web take shape in the 90's the big thing was work from home and that was good for some people but for me that was boring and to time consuming I was a musician and wanted to be in front of people doing my thing so I let it slide and kept paying my AOL payment each month like everyone else and eventually stepped up to cable and now fiber optic connection as my rig on stage became more ilaborate and now using 3 computers at home and owning 4 laptops using more technology than anyone I know this was leading up to something but what?



(The little videos that rocked my world )



I was always making videos of myself and others for fun and sometimes profit it was fun and I loved doing it and this way before You tube and My Space never knowing what was coming and how important my involvement with video and computers would come into play with what I'm doing to day with a simple little program you can do wonders.



Now for the Baby Boomers the 50+ group "My People"
