      Head Teacher

      I was head teacher at an elementary school site's child care program. In addition to taking care of the daily needs of the site and leading teacher staff meetings, I regularly assessed and communicated with parents about their children's progress and difficulties. Our program was developing positive communication skills implemented through activities in arts & crafts, music and playgound supervision. At this time I also volunteered with the music teacher at the site to be able to get into my own teaching position. Show less

      In 2001 I started my independent label to promote my original music and other talented musicians through these projects. I've released three CDs so far. One made the Americana Charts, another charted on college radio and all have received radio play internationally. Most recently, I'm back in the studio recording my next release. I've been working on a documentary about open mics across America, and have other projects in the works.
