Solidified

Well its another day here at Ojai Rancho Inn. I really enjoy this job. I get to meet people everyday from all walks of life. It's invigorating for the soul. I enjoy meeting new people and enriching their lives. Whether I am sharing my music or their sharing something about their lives to me. It's really awesome to know I can make these great connections with people. Like I always say...only in Ojai. I've been very fortunate to have the amazing opportunity to live in this incredible town. Puts a smile on my face all the time. Life should make you happy. Thank you for stopping by. May your day go in peace.

One love

Back to business

Well it sure feels good to be back at work. Gotta keep doing it so the music won't stop. I've been feeling very blessed lately with all that has come about from my music. I have nothing to fall back on. This is all or nothing for me. That's why I've invested so much money into my music. No one is going to take me serious if I don't invest in myself. Bottom line is that I get the opportunity to do what I love...making music. It's what Im best at. I've had the opportunity to do many things in my life. Whether it was playing baseball in college or going bodyboarding to the the North Shore of Oahu, I have had a great life. I am just working hard to fulfill all my aspirations I have in life. I hope I inspire you. Thank you for stopping by. May your day go in peace.

One love

Significant

As I write to you, I am listening to a new song I wrote. But this time I didn't write it alone. I have teamed up with my good old friend Ben Buttner. Some of you may know who he is and some of you may not. He is a phenomenal guitar professional and I am very happy he is working with me. This is such a great fit because we have the same musical influences. We've also known each other since 4th grade. More than that, we were great friends and life has come around full circle and we're back at it again. Everything happens for a reason. Thank you for stopping by. May your day go in peace.

One love

Inspiration

Back in November I had the opportunity to be apart of career day at Rio Del Valle Middle School. I was asked to come speak to the kids. Well I spoke a little bit but these kids wanted to hear guitar more than they wanted to hear me talk. So I played for 6 different groups of about 30 kids and I played 3-4 songs for each group. It was a very fun day. Seeing these kids faces light up was such a great feeling. It feels good when I can give back to the community that shaped my life. I'll never forget my roots. The best part about career day happened last week. I received an envelope in the mail filled with letters from the kids. The impact I had on these children was unreal. It makes the music so much more important to everyone. Not just me. The music never stops with me because that's what I do and I love. Thank you all so much for being apart of my life's journey. May your day go in peace.

Creativity

Creativity is one of the greatest healers for anyone. Ingenuity always increases the flow of endorphins. They are the fuel for our happiness. Take life by each moment as it comes at you. Live in the present state. There is no need to be stuck in the past or lost in the future. The only thing that matters most is right now. Put your mind at ease and get lost in the moment. We all are in control of our own destiny. Therefore, throw a smile on your face. No stress and no bad days. Thank you for stopping by. May your day go in peace.

One love

Improvisation

Well today is a great day to be alive. The sun is shining. The birds are chirping. It's beautiful outside. It just makes perfect sense of why we are here. We're all here to show kindness to one another. Show love when it needs to be given. In general...be a good person. Put a smile on someone's face. Go that extra mile. Why not? What's the point of living in a cold world? What matters most is being happy. We are all in control of our own destiny and happiness. Take advantage of it. And don't let life pass you by. Thank you for stopping by. May your day go in peace.

One love

Turn the page

I am an ordinary human being. No one is perfect and neither am I. We all have are flaws. I apologize for being so distant but I was going through some struggles of my own. No matter how positive life can be there are set backs. I'll be back in the studio soon. The music never stops. It's time to start a new chapter in my life. My struggle has only made me stronger. Im more determined to overcome my challenges and continue to be an inspiration to everyone. Sometimes you gotta open your eyes to get out of darkness and see the light. Life is beautiful, don't let it pass you by.
