Born and raised in Tallahassee, FL. I’ve attended Sealey Elementary, Griffin Middle and Leon High Schools. I’ve spent most of my life working in the music industry. I began work at the Leon County Civic Center as a stage hand in 1989 and In 1992 I began working with Jeff Hanson a local promoter and the owner of Club 506 and Metropolis. During this stent in the bar business we created Big Daddy’s, Fat & Skinny’s and Floyd’s Music Store. Leaving the bar industry behind In 1996 we formed an artist management firm (JHMP) to manage a little-known college rock band by the name of Creed, with JHMP as their managers Creed went on to capture seven #1 hits and sell over 35 million records worldwide. In 2004 as Creed called it quits I exited JHMP and the music business all together leaving behind Bombtrax and Silent Majority. In 2005 I partnered with a FSU alumni Terry Robinson to launch Robinson Outdoors a chain of Outdoor Power Equipment stores based in Central FL. In 2012 I formed Blue Collar Commerce to bring affordable turn key e-commerce solutions to small business retailers and provide online marketing support. My hobbies include auto racing of all types, Home Automation and building Radio Controlled Cars, Boats, Planes and the occasional Helicopter.
