This is my personal memorial to September 11, 2001. For me, it provides a lasting memory of the human loss, sacrifice and heroism that made 9/11 such global inspiration. One World Trade Tower, the Memorial Museum and the surrounding grounds are a perfect tribute. It's my hope that it touches your heart and that we all will never forget American resiliency at its best. For me, 9/11 isn't only about the death and destruction--it's about how we all came together for what seemed to be a month and grieved as one. This goes out to all of the poor souls on Flights,11,175,93 & 77,in the World Trade Towers, those on the ground,as well as,their surviving family members...the inspiration of 9/11 will live on. Please pass this along to anyone that you know who was touched by 9/11.

My initial songwriting inspiration began in the '60's. I wrote my first song at 15 and 50+ yrs later, I’m still trying to get it right. The Beatles were [and still are] significant influences in both my learning to play and write.

Prior to investing in my songwriting quest, I had a very rewarding 25 year business career as the senior marketing executive for several highly regarded global corporations, which provided me an opportunity to travel the world and meet many wonderful people. I observed first hand how fortunate Americans are to have the freedom that we all clearly under appreciated until this horrific event. I also spent 14 years in the real estate business.

My wife & I are the proud parents of twin sons. We are retired and reside in St. James Plantation, North Carolina.
