We all face challenges, but looking back would you describe it as a relatively smooth road?
No my life has never been a smooth road. I’ve overcome so many obstacles and I didn’t always choose the easiest path. I had a rough childhood. I moved out as a teenage and have been taking care of myself for along time. I would say my life is smoothest right now due to my wife Sarah and our family.

Appreciate you sharing that. What else should we know about what you do?
I am a musician, a singer and songwriter, author of books, photographer. Producer of music and shows. A performer

How do you think about luck?
Oh boy. The good and bad of being a female musician let along a female one during the 1980s and a kid trying to survive came with bad but there were also some really good memories.
