My qualifications are subject to the fact that everything that I have ever done that has any merit to it at all is not me, but Christ who dwells within me. At the age of 12, I started writing music and poetry. I have written over 200 songs. I have written several books on poetry and was blessed to work with many grammy and dove award winning artists throughout the world. My wife and I spent some quality time with the late Ricky Nelson and he asked me to consider writing for him. My experience in management is vast as I was an instructor in the Federal Aviation Administration, as well as, an Air Traffic Controller in the Boston, Chicago, and New York area. I was assistant Vice President for a resort development company in Hawaii. I was Sales manager for a concrete company, Sales manager for a water well drilling company, Sales manager for a commercial sign company, Sales manager for a New England radio station, licensed in radio broadcasting. In radio, I also worked in the capacity of commercial writer, public relations director, concert promoter, full-time radio DJ, fundraiser specialist, and music director. I managed my own concert promotion company and worked as a consultant with several others. I was truly blessed as a concert promoter to work with such artists as Twila Paris, Sandi Patty, Scott Wesley Brown, Bob Thompson, Maranatha singers like Kelly Willard, Paul & Rita Baloche, and Michelle Pillar, Wayne Watson, Kathy Trocolli, Kim Boyce, Ian & Annie, Phil Driscol, Steven Curtis Chapman, Michael W. Smith, Dallas Holm, Mike Adkins, and many others.I worked as concert promoter and public relations director for several churches. My wife and I were both ordained and licensed as ministers in the early 1990’s. I have more than 125 management course certificates in property management. My wife and I have worked together in management at a Children’s home, managed several condominiums together, and ministered in many churches. I now enjoy the love of my life (my wife), writing, arranging, and producing music, speaking and sharing the love and miracle power of Jesus. We pray that you will seek to touch the hem of His garment and bring glory to His name.
