La Bene Vita
I am a professional musician  , worship leader , small business owner , songwriter , aspiring author and freelance nonfiction writer with a chemical engineering degree .
But that's just my resume.
My profile of qualifications is only one of the ways in which I am unique. Here I chronicle my personal and professional goals and my efforts to achieve them. Occasionally I fail. Mostly, I take daily baby steps toward all my long-term goals. Much like the stories I pen, the songs I compose, and the businesses I run, I am always a work in progress.

They say copying is the sincerest form of flattery. I'll go with that. My former employer, with whom my business now theoretically competes, created a sparkly new business Facebook page within a month of the creation of mine, adopted a motto that sounds suspiciously similar to one of mine, and booked performance at an event hosted by the same radio station who hosted the event I played at a month ago. Sweet! Obviously, my promotional choices are good ones. Fortunately for business, our competition is only theoretical (or, perhaps, personal), because we are geographically too far apart to compete practically.
