О себе: I'm a person who would rather
help someone than hurt them. I'd rather build someone up than tear them down.
I feel I have God given talents of music, art, and poetry that I attempt to
use to encourage and inspire others. I'm hoping to build my network of friends
and professionals to facilitate getting the message in my music out there. I like to create music and poetry that ministers to your mood and stimulates your mind. I have a saying
that each of us is like a pebble in a pond........ we ripple 360 degrees. We
all have an influence on someone. My hope is that with the time that I've been
given that I can make a difference in a good way for the lives I touch.
