I've been talking about writing a book for a while...
If there's one thing I can speak confidently about its how to stand out and make a difference in your own life. You see, I was raised in an Italian, Roman Catholic family and I attended Catholic school and church regularly. I was taught by Nuns.
At some point in my life though, the page turned and I simply became who I am today. It started at about age 17. I left school to play with Liza Minelli in Joel Grey's Cabaret. That was the catapult that pushed me to move to Los Angeles and pursue rock n roll. And I did. Life got really crazy, but I learned a lot in that time and experienced things that many people will never get to experience. I do not take them for granted; in fact I want to share them.
My book does just this. Its 200 pages; an airplane read really, but its action-oriented. I think you'll really get some take-aways and find your self trying out what Im telling you to do.

Im passionate about the contents of this book. Its not your standard self-help book; its my very abbreviated life to help deliver a message to middle-aged people that feel stuck in the rut of daily minuta - doing exactly what they they've been taught they are supposed to do. They have a spouse, kids, dogs, a cat, a house and white picket fence yet.. they're not happy.
"After reading this book, I want you to be learn to live life to the fullest and understand that, “Life is Short and Then You’re Dead Forever.”
There are no second chances.

You can’t get on the ride again once it’s over with".
