I have been writing about music, which I've been doing since age 5, and the medical world, which I've developed an interest in as an adult, for years. I have an Associates degree in Music and I studied Business with an emphasis on Entrepreneurship online and I'm a few classes away from a Bachelor's degree. I did extensive research for "How Long Can We Live?" and "The Sunset Jams Piano Book" and I hope you find the results helpful and a good read that will change your outlook. I grew up in a small town in Elkader, IA and won a national songwriting contest when I was just 14, performing my original music at the Rock And Roll Hall Of Fame.
