What is it like when you are entertaining an audience? It is very rewarding.
Having a great band requires a lot of work. All of the individuals have to be very
proficient at their respective instruments, then everybody has to know their
parts to each song, then we put it all together as a group and make a show out of
it. It’s definitely fun but if takes a lot of time and dedication so it is nice be able
to have people who enjoy what we do.
What is your favorite kind of venue? Ro-
deo dances, fairs, special event, things like
that. Not so much bars where a lot of the
people are there for reasons other than to
dance, have fun and be entertained.
Tell us a little about your wife’s jewelry
business. My wonderful wife Michelle has
amazing vision and the ability to constantly
create new and unique pieces. She is pas-
sionate about what she does and genuinely
cares about her clients. Plus she is just a
good person. The combination of these
things makes it pretty easy to have a suc-
cessful business and at the same time in-
spire me and others to be better people.
