Sometimes I think about my “career path” or get asked about what I might have done differently… I don’t waste too much of my time dwelling on the past or weighing all of the “what if’s.” There are so many things that I could have done differently, but who knows if they would have helped or hindered me? A career in music is not an easy path. I would not recommend it to anyone else. The competition is fierce, the economics are difficult to juggle, and luck becomes such a huge determining factor. However, it keeps me happy, excited, and fulfilled. I cannot envision doing anything else.

If I lived in some strange alternate parallel universe, and had to pick a different career, I imagine I would still be working in the world of music, Pro Tools engineer, percussionist, music producer. If I were to leave music altogether, I could fancy myself as a restaurant critic. Travel and eat. Wait… that sounds like my current job!
