I'm a musician and entrepreneur.  Avid learner, reader and teacher.  

I've lived on a circus train and on cruise ships, traveled the world, performed for a King, wrote a book, invented and patented things, started many businesses, and spectacularly failed and succeeded at a lot of different things.
 

Originally from Pittsburgh, PA, I attended the University of North Texas and earned both a Bachelor and Master degree in jazz trumpet performance.  I was 2 classes away from also earning an MBA in Marketing when I won the audition to perform in Cirque du Soleil's "Viva Elvis" show so I put down the clipboard to don a sparkly jacket and moved to Las Vegas in 2010.

​

I've had an eclectic and exciting career that's put me on the stage with many interesting people and acts including Cirque du Soleil, Lady Gaga, Jason Derulo, Rod Stewart, Tony Bennett, CeeLo Green, Boyz II Men, John Fogerty, Steven Tyler (Aerosmith), Hugh Jackman, Will Smith, Matt Goss, The Temptations, The Four Tops, The Buckinghams, Paul Anka, Donny and Marie Osmond, Santa Fe and the Fat City Horns, Human Nature, The O'Jays, and many more...
