Writing, music and a love for the classics

Petulant Power 
 

I was born a Petulant Puppy- one who explores everything, digging and grabbing and dragging everything I can find into my box.

 

Along the way I learned that it takes maturity to turn the new into useful- discovering analysis (truth), advocacy (loving well) and process (how to behave).

 

So I ask lots of questions and look for lots of answers, including:

 

  • Why has customer service failed so completely?

  • Why do we forget our history and repeat the horrible stuff?

  • Why can’t the far left and far right meet in the middle to get things done?

  • Why don’t we love our neighbor as ourselves?

  • Why are the fundamentals of music being lost?

 

I address these issues as a:

  • Writer, Musician and Music Teacher

  • Business Analyst, Product Manager and Customer Advocate

  • Guitar Electronics Designer, Recording Engineer, AV Post Producer and Composer

  • Aviation Aficionado, History Geek and Science Nut

 

So contact me when you’re ready to explore out-of-the box, to build impactful solutions and to tell the world what you’re up to.

Creating stories that others never imagine and the user experience you dream about
