Affiliations
Favorite activities include:
Golfing - I love to golf... but am not very good. ( I shoot in the high 60's. Any colder... and I won't play.)
Magic - I was a professional stand-up comedy magician and singer/songwriter in my younger years. I still dabble in close up magic.
Music is one of my main hobbies. As a singer/songwriter in my spare time, I enjoy creating and communicating through music. Everyone should have a passion in life. Music is mine... and I try to create music that makes the world a better place.
