A typical day in my life includes…
working out, making breakfast for my kids, songwriting and performing around the Valley.
I was born…
the same week that Elvis Presley died.
My favorite thing about Arizona…
the mountains and sunsets.
I’m listening to…
a lot of inspirational podcasts.
My family…
is my greatest asset.
If I could have dinner with anyone, it would be…
Bono.
One thing I cannot live without…
vocal warm ups in a steamy shower.
When I was younger, I wanted to be…
a hip hop dancer and a fire fighter…or a combination of both, LOL.
I’m inspired by…
people who give the most genuine version of themselves to the world.
The one person who motivates me is…
the woman who believes in me the most, my wife.
If I could change anything in the world, it would be…
eliminating child abuse.
The perfect day would be…
an early workout and meditation time, eating breakfast with my family, record a new song idea, climb a mountain at sunset then finish the day performing a HUGE back yard concert with all my musician friends for the entire neighborhood…let’s party!
My first job was…
scooping ice cream at Baskin Robbins. My best friend and I worked together that summer and ate our weight in ice cream!
My favorite escape…
is any beach in Southern California.
My life…
is full of unexpected moments and non-stop action! Being a father of 5 and a full time musician makes every week is a new adventure…and I absolutely love it!
I’m currently working on…
launching a non-profit called SongWorthy that takes music to foster care facilities, homeless shelters and prisons…because EVERYONE is worthy of a song.
Always…
follow your heart or others will try to define your dreams for you.
Never…
quit your day dream (I read that in a coffee shop the other day)!

Biggest Dream…
to take my family around the world and perform music.
My Pet Peeve(s)…
bland food. I probably add 5 different sauces/seasonings to every meal…it’s gotta have flavor!
