Michael's Story

I'm living in the Tampa Bay area of Florida - over by the beaches - and have been in this area since 1981. After graduating and trying out some "higher education" - I was just too distracted with the whole music scene back in the late 60's to accomplish much other than want to be a rock n' roll star. Well, that didn't happen but I continue to enjoy playing music today - and it's still all pretty much rock n' roll - except now for Jesus. Actually, I play in three bands - two at my church and one with some friends. One of the church bands is a great "country" band called God's Country and we play every Saturday night for what they call "Country Church". The other one is a band that plays at a kind of hip Sunday morning worship service called HD (High Definition). The people who attend the HD service basically come in very casual clothes - mostly blue jeans - and there's a coffee bar open in the sanctuary right before the service begins so if you get there a little early you can enjoy a cup of coffee. The church is called First Baptist Church of Indian Rocks and it's located in Largo Florida so if you're ever in the area - come say hi at 6:00 pm Saturday evening or 9:00 Sunday morning. The other band I play in is called Shepherd's View. The name pretty much means that we now live, play and look at life through Jesus Christ's eyes - the Good Shepherd. The band has a CD available on iTunes if you're interested. The non-music part of my life or what I doing to make a living revolve around producing corporate video presentations - specializing in annual conference work. This means, once a year, large corporations get all there sales people, etc. together and have a 2, 3, 4 day meeting and really put on a dog & pony show - and that where I come in. We're now projecting images on a screen that literally wraps around a large ballroom. It¿s pretty cool. I have all the editing equipment right at my house so my house is my st...Expand for more
udio and the commute is great. No traffic from my bed to the studio. I was married to Patty Kirk from Portage Indiana and had 4 children who now have grown and expanded the family by adding 5 kids of their own. Cori, my oldest child, lives in Asheville, NC and has two kids - Sebastian and Gabriel. She's a photographer and an art history major and UNCA in Asheville. I love going up there to visit her because that area is really cool. Cori works with me sometimes doing photography for some of the corporate events I'm involved with. Todd, the oldest of three boys, lives not too far from me and has two children - my first grandchild, Farrah, 10 - and also my grandson James who is 3. Todd is a welder and a good one I might add. Todd has also accompanied me on some shows I've produced and shoots video. Jacob, my middle son, is in the Army and is a paratrooper. Currently he's up in North Carolina at Fort Bragg packing parachutes - a nice safe place for him to be in my opinion. He and his wife, Lindsey had a little girl, Ashley. And then my youngest son, Nick, lives with his mom (Patty) and her new husband down in North Port which is south of Sarasota, FL. Nick is 22 and loves beer and hanging out and is still trying to figure out the meaning of life. Nick works for me the most and shoots video and does computer animation work for me. I really love each one of my kids!! I got remarried. My new wife's name is Terri Smith (she decided not to change her last name). She's a fitness instructor and a health nut. Check out her website at powertoolsbyterri.com and you'll know what I mean. Terri is about 15 years younger than I am and runs circles around me. That's pretty much my life in a nut shell - at least after graduating high school. Check out the following websites for more information and you can find me on Facebook - although I don't really do much "Face booking". shepherdsview.com miraclemedia.org powertoolsbyterri.com
