Age: 35

Career: I was the bass player for a national touring rock band act called Madison Rising, in which I extensively toured all across the USA many times over, as well as some gigs abroad in South Korea and Japan. We had many opportunities to share the stage with several well-known acts from a variety of genres, including Aerosmith, Trace Adkins, Shinedown, The Dropkick Murphys, and Godsmack

Greatest career accomplishment: I had the opportunity to play a series of concerts for troops overseas, on military bases in South Korea, Okinawa, Japan, and mainland Japan. It was the highest honor to play for those who sacrificed time away from their families, in order to serve our country.

Guilty pleasure: Pizza. 

If I won $5 million, I would: Honestly, I have absolutely no idea. I sort of live by the philosophy that the best things in life aren’t things!

I’m most passionate about: Music: I’ve experienced firsthand its incredible ability to heal people and bring them together.

Bucket list item: Travel to Hawaii and Alaska. They are the only two states I have not visited.
