I grew up in Wisconsin Dells, where I graduated high school. Some people may know this town as the waterpark capitol of the world. There is so much more there than the amusement parks. Lakes, rivers, streams, and two state parks are what I enjoyed while living there. I love the natural outdoors. Hunting, fishing, camping, canoeing, and hiking are more of a passion than an interest. I have always enjoyed a wide variety of music, and am in awe of those who are talented enough to pursue their music as a career. Cooking and entertaining has been the anchor to my social life. It's a nice feeling treating friends to some fine cuisine. Currently My wife and I reside in Rochester, MN. It's great to be so close to the incredible music scene that Minneapolis/St. Paul has to offer, but we'll never change our love and dedication to every sports team in Wisconsin.

A musician friend of mine, who I have known for more than 10 years, attended a concert with me at Pabst Theater in Milwaukee, WI. Afterwards we ended up discussing the music industry. The words that came out of his mouth didn't have much meaning to me at the time, but upon finding Full Sail University, I can't seem to get those words out of my mind. "Musicians need people like you who have a real passion for music to get involved in the industry." You know what, he's right. I attended Full Sail University to turn my passion for music into a career.
