Singer

While serving in the military, I competed in the U.S. Air Force Talent Competition at every base that I was stationed, and traveled worldwide as a singer and dancer.


Holding my Roger (The U.S. Air Force Talent Competition's highest award) for Vocal Group of the Year - 1985 .


I won awards at every level (base, command & worldwide), and in different categories. As a result of that I was asked to work with Air Force Tops in Blue Talent Showcase as a set designer.
