I'll be posting interviews I've had with some of the coolest people in the music industry.  And I'll continue to post upcoming interviews as well.

So Stay Tuned to Rock with me on IROCKJAZZLIVE.com!

13.1 Miami Beach! DID IT!!

Always mindful of my fitness and well being I decided to try my first ever 1/2 Marathon..13.1 Miles! PHEWF!! I didn't do the traditional 10 week training...more like 6 weeks and only managed to get up to a 6 mile run during that training but I did it! I actually crossed the finish in 2:45:24 minutes chip time. It was an awesome feeling and a huge accomplishment. Another check on the bucket list!

Now I'm ready for those upcoming castings!! :-)
