About
My Background
My mother was a recording artist in the 50's, and today, my daughter carries on that legacy as a singer-songwriter in Nashville. The singing voice skipped a generation.
I have always been good with ideas and words. I spent my career in advertising, the art of turning human insights into efficient, persuasive, and emotion-stirring language—a craft I’ve realized is remarkably similar to songwriting.
Somewhat late in life, during Covid, I learned to play guitar and soon after started writing my own songs. While my hands and voice have their technical limits, I found my songwriting may not. Then I discovered that I could use my voice, my guitar, and AI to put a beat and rhythm to my words so they could take flight.
I do want to say. I admire and respect musicians and artists, my mom and daughter especially. I know I am cheating a little with AI, but my words would not see the light of day without this tool.
My Dreams
Hear my daughter sing one of my songs on the Highway.
Collaborate with other artists who possess talents I do not have to write songs that move people.
Sign a publishing deal.
Have someone like Jason Aldean, Chris Stapleton, Ella Langley, Megan Morney, or many of my other favorites take my lyrics to the next level.
A man can dream. In reality, I am already living a dream with the Lord, my beautiful wife, family, and friends. So it might just be a hobby that goes nowhere, but that is ok because I am enjoying the ride.
How I found my way to Country Music.
For years, my life was measured in miles and tournament schedules. Driving my kids from game to game, the radio was never mine—it belonged to them. And they wanted Country.
To be honest? I fought it. I grew up a child of rock, which is now called Classic Rock. Country music just wasn't "my" sound when I grew up. But somewhere between the practices and the long hauls home, country music started to sink in. I stopped reaching for the dial and started listening to the stories.
That’s when the lightbulb went off: I’ve actually been a Country fan my entire life.
When I listened to the legends I’ve always loved—Bruce Springsteen, John Mellencamp, Bob Seger, Tom Petty, and Jackson Browne. And add in bands like Lynyrd Skynyrd, Pure Prairie League, America, The Marshall Tucker Band, The Eagles, Credence Clearwater Revival, and the Allman Brothers - I realized that the music I loved growing up was telling the same truths. Whether it’s the blue-collar anthems of Springsteen or the raw, soulful southern rock of The Marshall Tucker Band, the DNA is the same as today’s modern country music: honest stories about real life, hard work, and the heartland.
My music is for the people who love songs that tell stories. It took a few thousand miles and a lot of backseat requests, but I finally found where my lyrics belong.
Late Flight Lyrics - Name
The name The Late Flight Lyrics reflects my late-entry journey into guitar playing and songwriting. My main "product" is the message and the emotion of the lyrics. That said, I pour a lot of intention into the composition using my guitar and many iterations of AI to achieve the energy needed to ensure the lyrics and the listener truly connect.
Late Flight Lyrics - Logo
As a brand marketer, I wanted the logo to be both artful and meaningful. The mark is consists of lines taking-off toward a spotlight. The six lines with faint cross lines represent the six strings of a guitar and the frets.
