THE TEAM:
there have been so many people over the years to help me along the way. everything from a warm home cooked meal, to taking me to record labels and introducing me as someone that they believe in. this section is meant to do 2 things: 1) i want to say a special thank you to these people. 2) i want for anyone who reads anything i write about things going on, to know who these great people are and how i have come to know them.
though i could probably have thousands of people on this page, i am trying to keep it to a just a few. ya know, less than a hundered! it will be my goal to add at least one person per month.

HOW WE MET: glenn and I met through our mutual friend chris conn. chris had the concept for a tv show called “roadie” about the struggles of an artist trying to be successful in the music industry. he and glenn teamed up to co-produce “roadie” in 2006. I was fortunate enough to be the subject for the pilot episode. we spent about one week filming, hanging out and getting to know one another. by weeks end I knew that I had made a true friend.
WHAT HE DOES: glenn does just about anything he wants to! he is really all over. graphic design is one of his main fields. some of his accomplishments in that area include the designing of album covers for majors like rascal flats, tim mcgraw, jo dee messina, trick pony, hank III and aaron tippin just to name a few. he is also a freelance video director and photographer. his accomplishment are far too many to even scratch the surface in this section.
ONE OF MY FAVORITE MEMORIES: glenn called me up one morning and asked if I would come help him out with something at “the children’s hospital. I of coarse said that I would love to. when I got there, I learned that we would be filming rascal flats doing a short private concert and hangin out with some of the kids there. I held the boom stand with the microphone. glenn says that I am the best mic holder guy he has ever worked with! lol
SOMETHING YOU SHOULD KNOW ABOUT THIS TEAM MEMBER: he is like the lone ranger. he has got me totally convinced that in today's world with all of the different avenues of independent distribution and promotion, that anyone with a little talent and a whole lot of drive can make it. a list of accomplishments like his is amazing, but the fact that he did it alone, not working for some industry giant… now that is incredible!
OUR WORK: glenn co-produced "roadie" in 2006. -from the "roadie" footage, he made a video for "she don't even know my name" -we have done a couple photo shoots together. his photography work is absolutely incredible! -glenn and john breslin filmed "my showcase" on august 29th, 2007.
glenn includes me and invites me to be around all of his talented and wonderful friends. we are planning on shooting a video as soon as we are finished with our recording at the end of november. he is not only one of the finest people i have had the pleasure of working with, i am also proud to call him my friend. please stop by and tell him "thanks" for all that he has done for your ol' pal db!
