Music saved me. When I was a young teen, troubled (you don’t wanna know, it was bad), lost, confused and into booze and drugs, one thing that gave my life meaning was music. Yes, rock and roll. It was fast, furious, raunchy and powerful. Like my brain at the time. It gave me some semblance […]
The Swiss Army Knife of photography studios….
I always said my photography studio was like a swiss army knife. A “multi-purpose” studio for lack of a better term. Instead of specializing in a major niche, I specialize in many niches.

To be fair I am still in awe, but those formative years were essential since I was getting established and building. Some […]
One of my favorite all time best seminars…
One of my favorite all time best seminars I personally experienced, first hand, like watching a master of masters in action, was way back when I organized a speaking gig with Al Gilbert.
