Born on a small farm in Pennsylvania I attended Slippery Rock State College and acquired a teaching degree that landed me a job in New York, New York. Afterwards, I traveled to Dallas and changed my career path to accounting where I became a Certified Public Accountant. I worked at an International Software/ Hardware company until they dissolved.
It was from there I moved to Florida and established an accounting and tax firm that I still operate on a part time basis.
I became involved with the blues music scene while in Florida that has led me to various blues festivals around the country. My ultimate favorite venue is the Legendary Rhythm and Blues Cruise followed by the Big Blues Bender. It is during these travels that I developed my Blues Family & Friends.
Hopefully, my talents, experiences and expertise will help the SW Florida Blues Society progress into the premier group of Florida.
