Milestones
My road in life has taken me all over.
Studied classical violin as a child, but was drawn to business.
Got a stock brokers license right out of high school and realized it wasn't what I wanted to do.
Majored in marketing and sociology because I wanted to be creative and learn about human behavior.
Dropped out of college to move to California and pursue a career in music.
Worked for a music store in Colorado where I learned about the music industry leading to a job in CA.
After ten years, co-founded the company Budda Amplification.
Sold the company in 2008 and recorded my "Heads or Tales" album.
Licensed my first song for an advertisement in 2012.
