My Story
I began my career as a signed artist, and over time, found my home in the music industry as a tour manager, doing just about everything—from lighting and publicity to production planning and promoting shows. I even spent time behind the wheel, driving the tour bus! Those experiences helped me discover what I truly love: working closely with artists and songwriters.
After graduating from Belmont University, I launched Shake 'Em Up Music Publishing in 1999. Since then, I’ve been passionately involved in songplugging across various genres and securing TV/film placements. I'm a full-blown TV junkie, so diving into music supervision and clearing songs and videos is something I genuinely enjoy. Believe it or not, I even find a sense of accomplishment in handling administration.
Truthfully, there’s not much in publishing I haven’t done—and I’d love to bring that experience to your next project.

Tribute To The Troops
Any story of my life would be incomplete without sharing the impact of Tribute To The Troops, a volunteer organization dedicated to honoring America’s fallen heroes and supporting their families.
There are truly no words to express how deeply my life has changed since becoming part of this mission. Imagine the pain of a family whose loved one was shot and killed by a misguided Iraqi soldier—just moments before boarding the plane to come home. He’ll never hold his newborn baby. They’ll never share another Christmas. It’s the worst way to meet the nicest people.
To date, Tribute To The Troops has visited the homes of more than 350 Gold Star families and established over 120 education scholarship funds (529 plans) for the children of our fallen heroes. We do our best to help in any way we can—it’s the very least we can do for those who’ve made the ultimate sacrifice.
I’m honored to serve as Vice Chair of the National Board of Directors for Tribute To The Troops, and as Vice Chair and Treasurer of the East Coast Region.
A special thank you to my client Rockie Lynne, whose vision and song “Home” inspired the creation of this organization that continues to change lives—including mine.
We cannot all do big things, but we can all do some thing.
