I will be teaching flute lessons in several area schools and have plans to really promote the mission of Music Strong – empowering musicians to …
It’s OK To Not Work Out…No, Really It Is
Try to have this conversation with most meatheads in the gym and they start twitching, or at the very least the eyes glaze over and you can tell the brain has already moved on to their next set of bicep curls and is no longer listening to what you say. In the fitness world it seems there are two types …
Panama City Beach Boot Camp 81% OFF!
One of the products of Music Strong is the Panama City Beach Boot Camp. I decided that it was a shame to not have any boot camp classes in a non-gym-membership type setting available. I checked into it and sure enough while we do have the world’s most beautiful beaches, there were no boot camp classes being offered! And thus, …

When Was the Last Time You Took A Break?
Like most siblings, I grew up driving my brother crazy, and him doing the same to me. He’d try to hug me, I’d get grossed out, he’d get mad, I’d cry, you know, the usual. Then I went to college and left him at home with mom and dad and the coolest thing happened: we became friends. I count my …
The Most Annoying Part of Exercising
You know what annoys me most about exercising? It isn’t getting up early or making time for it in my day, it isn’t the study and research involved in my job, it isn’t the educational aspect, it isn’t the soreness or the dedication or any of the obvious things. It’s the increased oxygen flow to the brain that causes me …
It’s a Wild Ride…
So life has been crazy, lately. I know, I know, I was on a roll, posting a few new blog posts every week, and believe me, I have more than a few drafts in the works, but I just haven’t been able to get to them. I could put something out just for the sake of generating content, but I …
Do What You Suck At
One of my mottos for awhile now has been “You are only as strong as your weakest link”. This picture exemplifies the idea perfectly.
