Activities

I am a life-long lover of art and music. I have been involved in music in some capacity for most of my adult life. I booked and hosted events at my home and other unconventional spaces for almost 8 years. At that time, I utilized my situation to give back to the community at the best of my ability, by not only providing a space for art and music to happen without the constrains of financial profits, but consistently organizing benefits for local nonprofits such as Home Alive, the Country Doctor, CARA, the Urban Rest Stop, etc., as well as helping to raise awareness to the various needs of the community. The bond between art and community is deeply woven, and I believe that to have a warm, welcoming, supportive community, the artistic landscape must also be fruitful and vibrant.
