About
I'm a small business owner, lifelong traveler, retired professional photographer, retired wedding DJ, and the kind of person who gets way too excited about a good port city, a great Dean Martin story, or showing someone how AI can actually make their life easier.
I create and deliver entertaining, educational presentations on topics ranging from the secret lives of famous crooners to travel photography, nature, and practical AI. My talks are designed for cruise ships, senior centers, clubs, and corporate events, and they're built to be as fun as they are informative. As a retired wedding DJ of over 30 years, I'm comfortable behind the mic, whether the group is 5 people or 5,000 (or more).
I also perform as a crooner singer at senior centers and assisted living communities, bringing the music of legends like Frank Sinatra, Dean Martin, Bobby Darin, Nat King Cole, and the Great American Songbook to audiences who grew up with it. I can also mix in a little bit of country: Johnny Cash, Josh Turner, Garth Brooks, and more.
Whether I'm singing, presenting, or helping someone make their life easier with a clever AI prompt, my goal is always the same: leave the audience smiling and feeling like they learned something they can actually use.
I'm excited to work with you! Please contact me for more information and to book!

Singing
The Great American Songbook, performed live for the people who grew up with it.
I perform crooner and Great American Songbook music at assisted living communities and senior centers. These are interactive, personal performances where the audience sings along, shares memories, and spends an hour or more with the music that soundtracked their lives.
Of course, if you prefer a more laid-back performance (dinner music, etc.) I'm happy to do that, too.
My repertoire draws from the giants of the golden era: Sinatra's swagger, Dean Martin's effortless cool, the warmth of Nat King Cole, Bobby Darin's energy, and dozens more standards that never get old because they were never anything less than great.
Every performance is tailored to the audience. I read the room, take requests when I can, and make sure everyone in that room feels like the show is for them. Because it is.
🎄 Christmas Show
I also offer a full Christmas music show featuring all the traditional holiday favorites and more. Perfect for holiday parties and seasonal events at senior communities.
"What a treat! A truly enthusiastic singer who brought his gift of song to both neighborhoods. He was absolutely wonderful and engaged so well with our residents! We can't wait to welcome him back!"
