Mrs. Kennedy
As a lot of you may already know one of my life passions is reading and learning as much as possible about President and Mrs. Kennedy. It’s been that way my entire life, and I honestly don’t even have a good explanation why. I guess if I really think about it, I’m fascinated by every aspect of the Kennedy presidency …

For my latest project, my team and I decided I was in definite need of a fresh start.

I still wear leather, eat fish and chicken, but in my opinion, the two can co-exist! Well I was at my …
Songwriting
I’ve never found anything in music more challenging than songwriting. Not to say I’ve never had to work at my singing, because the hours of lessons I’ve had would definitely suggest otherwise, but I’ve never found something that has kept me on my toes as much as songwriting! I was 12 years old when I wrote my first song. It …

I’m a huge fan of asian food! In fact, Thai, Chinese, and Japanese food are staples in our house! Of all of the asian meals, one of my favorites is sushi! I absolutely love it! And, it was one of the few asian meals, I’ve never attempted to make! Well, all of that changed today! I decided today was the …
