What you'll learn

  • You will learn how to get started writing a book and self-publish it as an eBook and as a hard copy

Description

You will learn how to write, format and publish your eBook on the free Kindle Direct Publishing platform. You'll also learn strategies for gaining time in your life to be able to write. It's actually possible to complete an eBook in just a few days. My most popular book, "40 Ways To Make Money as a Musician" was written, uploaded and published in about three days. It was a shorter book and the material was developed over a lifetime as a musician. Most of my books have taken about 9 months working on them an hour or two a day.

There once was a little boy named Jimmy whose mom told him he could be anything he wanted…a policeman, a doctor, a lawyer, even the President of the United States. I exceeded all her expectations and became a music teacher!

I’m now a grown man with four kids (I married my high school sweetheart) and six grandkids. I love eating pizza, mountain biking, spending time with family, and long walks in the mountains holding hands (sorry, I reserve that for only one person, and it’s not you). My shoe size is 9.5 but please don’t send me any shoes…I’ll tell you more about that in a minute.

I teach middle school music at a Title I school, still finding time to speak, write, and podcast.

Now for the boring, adult stuff…

I earned a bachelor’s degree from St. Joseph’s College in Maine and received my music education from the Army School of Music. I served in the Army Band for 10 years in Virginia, Japan, and Colorado. I earned a teaching license from Western State University in Colorado and completed a master’s in music education at Southwestern Oklahoma State University. I believe in the value of life-long learning!

Member of the following:
Colorado Music Educator’s Association
American School Band Directors Association
Order of the Sons and Daughters of Italy.

My life-long goal continues to be to ACT MY SHOE SIZE, NOT MY AGE
