Over the years, I have experienced many wonderful and yet sometimes sad things. I like to think I have been able to put into words these feelings in ways others can easily understand. I have experienced first hand the destruction of both Hurricane Katrina and Rita while volunteering with DMAT medical teams in Louisiana after the hurricane hit. I also have Parkinson’s Disease which I will never let defeat me and use that for my strength.   My motivation comes from life itself and what more motivation can one ask for. My hope is to someday put some of my work to music.
