Interesting Facts:

If you had a million dollars to spend in a day, what would you do?

If I had to spend the money in a day, I would donate a portion and take the rest and buy some crypto currencies and other emerging technology stocks and build a nice little cabin getaway with a secret recording studio/bunker under the ground.

If you could have any other fantasy career, what would it be and why?

Perhaps acting would be fun fantasy.  Music was my fantasy career as a youth, and I am very grateful I got to accomplish it full time back in the late 80s through the late 90s.  I got to tour, write music, record in recording studios, and meet many people in the industry. I eventually made a living at it, performed on several tours, two of which made the top 10 Billboard Music live concert tours and was in a band that got a Grammy nomination for our work.
