My first passion has always been drumming. All of my soft skills I owe to being in a touring band from 1997 - 2004. Nothing teaches diplomacy, time management, people skills and communication like being in a van and driving around the country trying to make a living in one of the most competitive industries. I almost made it.Along with writing, touring and recording original music, I do much of the business for the band. We run it like a startup and I work on social media, web, music distribution and show promotions.
