Career High Points
Was keyboardist and singer for Ironhorse, one of Michigan's top Country Rock bands which performed several times with Sawyer Brown, Aaron Tippin, Lee Roy Parnell, Jo Dee Messina and numerous other popular country artists. Released a self-titled CD and performed for over 6,000 people at the grand opening of the newly renovated L.C. Walker Arena. I was personally visited by Mark Wills on more than one occasion, Mark wanted to hire me for his touring band. Local radio station B93 had brought him out to see the band. The band also entertained offers from Nashville entities. |

Current Working Status: I perform dueling pianos and solo piano at select clubs, private parties, weddings and corporate events. I pursue new opportunities whenever I get the chance and have recently completed my "micro-studio" which will allow me to refocus on my own music creations and projects. I also own and operate an Internet marketing company, ironmark.com. I work hard every day to be the best performer I can be. There's nothing like having fun and getting paid for it! (smile) :^)
Personal: I've had my opportunities to join national acts, record labels and touring shows, but I decided to stay here in Grand Rapids instead. I love my family, my friends, my dogs and my home, that is why I am still in Grand Rapids. Although I do travel a bit from time to time, this is home and I really don't care to be anywhere else.
Photos: Sorry for the long page and small font, that's the only way all of this would fit and I thought it important to keep it in-tact. Click on the images below for a bigger picture.
