| Introduction | I am a professional in sales/marketing, a professional drummer, singer, and songwriter and also a professional video technician. I do a stand-up comedy tribute to Rodney Dangerfield, I am a solid believer in the US Constitution and believe it is the law of our land and should be defended against anyone who would weaken, ignore, or seek to circumvent it in any way. I am a staunch believer in the Bill of Rights and consider them to be the God-given rights of all Americans as expressed by the founding fathers to protect us from tyranny and big government. I have been playing drums and singing since 1967, and I have worked on the production of the PBS music series "Austin City Limits" since 1978, the longest running music series in the history of television. I am a single Dad of two fantastic young ladies, Katie and Kristine. |
