My background started with the creative arts, I am an accomplished piano player with skills in improvisation and have taught accomplished Carnegie Hall performers the art of keyboard improv. I write, compose and perform music and when time permits, plan on getting into studio soon and record first album. I have seen what difficulties and hurdles the creative community has to express their passion and talents.

In 2002 I decided to write a movie about my experiences in entrepreneurial world and the creative artists mind-set and went through the focused task of writing a 170 page screenplay. Upon completion I went out and starting taking it up the stairs of the production world from producer to producer and learned a lot of about the industry I had no idea was reality. That's when I finished the screenplay Manic Ride.

For years I have talked too, filmed and interviewed artists, filmmakers, authors and musicians for a documentary I produced called Ten Talents Movie. The movie showcases an unbelievable talented community and the constant walls they face to establish themselves into the industry and manage their business and personal lives. The Movie Ten Talents has been shown in theatres across the country in major markets and will be expanding nationwide sometime in 2012.My goals now in life are focused on assisting the entrepreneur with the lessons I have learned, and since 2004 my passion has been to create a method of funding the arts that would eliminate the traditional risks of funding and perform the role of funding without taxation and artist begging.

It took me a while to realize we are always in a state of constant growth as individuals as long as we never commit ourselves to being what we are today.

I know it didn't make sense to me either until a few people much smarter then me explained it. Think of this way, you are constantly growing as an individual that growth at anytime can be things that happen that are good and things that happen that don't work out the way you wanted them to be. Usually, there are people involved with you at those times and whether you like it or not they will remember you from that time and think of you that way. You have the choice in life to allow them to or continue your growth, it really is that simple.

It's hard to understand sometimes, that everything in the world is on a growth pattern an evolution and the moment you stop and determine that this is what I am you never get to understand what you are truly made to be.

The hope of knowing that things will always change and the faith that it will and you will be ready and embrace it.

I learned this over time fighting at times with the pattern of growth I was on since it wasn't all the time what I thought I should be. I realized that those struggles I went through were simple God's training for what I was to become.

That's what the meaning of TEN TALENTS is; it’s a parable that talks about fully living the gifts we are born with.

We all have people in our life’s who want to constantly remind me of mistakes made in my life, probably most of them are the ones closest to you like family...I recognize them but at the same time I have loyal, dedicated people around constantly pushing me to what they feel I am capable of being. Which person would you follow? I am sure you have this in your own life as well, we all do.

At this point in my life, I am finishing up a story I had written back in 2002 about my life as an entrepreneur, I use that turn loosely, I was actually a creative person who was using business ideas to channel my constant desire to create something new. It would much easier to take that creativity and apply it to my piano and build on a note, to make a chord to make a song as I was a musician at heart and now I have taken my experience, my journey and lesson to help others who seek to utilize the God given talents of creativity and channel it with help, to the arts.
