CEO – Indie Connect
I founded Indie Connect in September 2008. Some people have compared it to a Chamber of Commerce for the music industry. That’s because the purpose of the company is to teach active and aspiring singers, musicians and songwriters how to make money using their talents! We also help them connect with the music industry professionals who can help them. We are developing local support chapters in cities worldwide. We host a popular social network, host a member-based training website, and we publish a popular blog about making money making music.
See IndieConnect.com (main website), Indieconnect.org (social network) and IndieConnectMagazine.com (the blog).
MUSIC INDUSTRY CONSULTANT
I have been in the music industry in one form or another for over 40 years. Before launching Indie Connect I had been a successful full-time musician, band leader, booking agent, artist manager and the Entertainment Director for the Nevada State Fair. I have also served on the boards of several music-relared companies. For a limited time only I am working with a small group of very talented artists to help them develop their careers. To be considered as a client, feel free to contact me any time.

AUTHOR
In
late 2007 I published a book called “CEO Secrets – What They Know Anbout Business That Every Entrepreneur Should.” I believe success is all about the CEO’s mindset. ‘CEO Secrets’ explains exactly how an entrepreneur needs to view every aspect of his or her business in order to be successful. The book explores why some businesses fail, stall or grow slowly, and why others take off and become profitable at an acceptable or even accelerated pace. The book is available through all major online relailers.
I have also written over 500 articles on success in both business and the music industry, many of which have been posted in popular blogs worldwide.
