My Life

It has been a pleasure pursuing various creative goals and interests as the clock ticks relentlessly. I've pursued canine training, roller-skating, reading, martial arts, video and music production, and most recently, writing, computer literacy and a lot of thrill seeking.

I've done everything, from playing the guitar in the street, to singing opera for three years at the Lyric Opera of Chicago. I've traveled as both a musician I singer, and as a canine specialist. For many years I was an exhibition rollerskater and have performed in many capacities in all these pursuits.

Ever since I was a 9 year old child my music education has been nonstop to include my mother Eva, who is an avid singer, and my stepfather, Jack Cecchini, who as a classic and jazz guitarist, exposed me to so many aspects of music that its impossible to count them all. Outside of being an outstanding musician I player, he is a noted instructor, establishing music programs and collaborating with top musical minds and institutions all over the world.

My mother, Jack and the people I was invariably exposed to by this life - style, were the root of my many segues into the arts. They, and my own father, Marc, who taught me to be an ethical and caring person, especially where animals are concerned, were the main influences toward my personal growth. My own curiosity found me both interested and motivated. Anything I found creatively intoxicating was pursued. This, to me, the best way to live.
