By 2024\, I had performed at 2\,000+ events. In 2004\, I was on top of the world. Had a marketing job for a Fortune 500 company and played in a 6-piece horn. Suddenly\, my world came to a screeching halt. I was laid off by my corporate job\, and my long-time band ran its course. I had zero income and three kids and a wife to support. Rather than feel sorry for myself\, I had an idea: Why not apply my marketing experience into building a solo event business? Most musicians aren’t marketers. They’re doctors\, truck drivers\, teachers\, salespeople\, realtors\, etc. I felt I had an advantage. So\, I ran with it. Fast forward to the present: the idea worked! Through aggressive marketing and perseverance\, I have played over 2\,200 engagements – mostly on weekends! Now it’s time to give back. I would like to share my success with other musicians facing similar challenges in achieving their dreams. \n\nAcoustic Guitarist (performed 2\,000+ events)\nBlossom Music Center (intern)\nAgora Ballroom (National Talent Buyer)\nBowling Green State University (Talent Buyer)\nMasters Thesis: BGSU “Cleveland Rocks: An Industry Side Pattern For Achieving Commercial Success in Popular Music in Cleveland”\nGuitar Lessons (2016 to 2026)\n\n2×4 Bios to come
