Elsewhere:
I was a musician in Nashville for 18 years working at studios and with concert promotion. Meeting Elvis 5 times was a highlight of those years. I now work closely with Ringling Brothers Circus and Disney on Ice as well as Disney's live shows as a safety consultant. I still sing for my amusement and other's amazement.
I coached soccer for 30 years after having played for Towers High School and various club teams.
I am married with 2 children; son 15, and daughter 21. We live near the mountains and enjoy going there often.
