GET STARTED

"There's a plaque on our wall that says we've sold over 65 million albums, and I don't feel I've accomplished anything. I feel like I'm just getting started."

Eddie Van Halen

Like you perhaps, I grew up listening to the music of the rock band Van Halen. The group’s founder and namesake, Eddie Van Halen, died recently at the age of 65, and in his words above, I think he left a fitting epitaph.

There’s no assurance that our lives will be filled with an ample number of tomorrows, so it’s important to seize each and every day.

Even if you’ve not sold millions of records or performed in front of sold-out stadium crowds–regardless of what your “first act” in life has been–you’re now standing on the threshold of infinite possibilities, new and exciting. 

I’d like to help you get to where you’d like to go.

Nonetheless, let’s get started getting acquainted and sharpening YOUR ax!
