Hi everyone... I am a 41-year-old who is a Psychologist by trade. I have maintained an office on Music Row since 2001, and have seen clients from all aspects of the music indstry in Nashville. I currently make the lion's share of my living by putting on seminars across the country. Before you get impressed, it is not exactly the "Rock Star" lifestyle, although it does have its perks. I have also co-hosted a popular radio show ("On the Couch") in Nashville that got picked up for syndication, and sport a background in comedy.

Otherwise, I am a pretty normal guy.............

Writing-wise, I was a weekly columnist for the Nashville City Paper for two years back in '02 and '03 (the column was called "On the Couch" as well), and now write a regular column for a younger paper called Middle Tennessee Now. My style as a columnist is a little bit like if Dave Barry and Sigmund Freud had an illegitimate son.

I have also published a book to go along with my shows (billed as "Edu-Tainment" - designed to tickle your funny bone while it tickles your brian) through a local publishing house, and am busy flogging away at my second novel.

It's all pretty cool, but first and foremost, we have to pay the rent, you know?
