Michael Brandt

My name is Mike and I am musician and a busniess man. I live in Cleveland, but am originally from Chicago. I moved out to Cleveland to attend Baldwin-Wallace College where I recieved a Bachelor's Degree in Arts Management. With this degree, I want to focus on non-profit work with a museum, theater, or music organization. Right now, I work for Northwestern Mutual doing Finanicial planning.

On the music side, I started playing the trombone 16 years ago and have loved doing it ever since. I have played in wind ensembles, brass ensembles, jazz bands, rock band and orchestras. About 10 years ago I picked up the guitar and right now I am the lead singer, guitarist, and songwriter for a local band called Don't Fight, Eat Fudge. We have been together for over a year and we play at venues such as The Grog Shop, Brothers Lounge, Now thats Class, and we even opened for the band Reel Big Fish.

Overall I like to live my life with a "work hard play hard" philosophy. I don't know where life is going to take me, but I know it will be a great ride.
