Stan Miller in Canton
Cara and I stopped in to the Big City Chophouse on Friday to see Stan play. He was great as usual… but the restaurant was an oven. I think the AC was broken… it was hot.
I was able to get a few shots with my new camera.
For more information about Stan, check out his website

It’s tattoo time!
Just how many times do we get the opportunity to truly bond with those we love? For my recent 40th birthday, I had the special opportunity to get a tattoo with my new Dad.
Wow… talk about a great time. It was his first (and probably not last) – we headed down to Art Bomb and a couple hours later… we were tattooed!
I couldn’t think of a better design to celebrate the occasion… just like the song says… "Red is RED" – And the tattoo doesn’t lie! - LOL
No kidding… talk about the obvious.. RED is what it is.
After holding my arm over my head for an hour… I couldn’t move it. My shoulder was cooked.
Our Dad took it like a champ! His tattoo turned out great.

Our Wonderful Wedding
We did it! I married the most beautiful woman in the world! My first love… my soul mate… my wife!! I’m the happiest guy you know!
As many of you know, Cara and I grew up together. We were “jr high sweethearts” – she was my “first” love. As young love goes… we eventually went separate directions but I always remembered her. 20+ years later, we connected instantly. I fell in love the moment I saw her walk through the door.
I married her this time.
Our pictures were done by Jimmy at Limelight-Images. Talk about a real professional. He captured moments like I’ve never seen before. Need a photographer? Live in Ohio? Call this guy.
Our music was done by Stan Miller. I would describe Stan as “smooth, cool and classy” – a real great player! If you live in northeast Ohio, you should get out to see him play.
Our wedding would not have been as wonderful without the tireless efforts of my new Mom and Dad! I mean… they really went the extra mile to make this day special for Cara and I. The decorations were stunning and the cake… oh wow… that cake was amazing!
The wedding was officiated by my long time friend, Kirk Saxon. In fact, Kirk and I were “internet ordained” together and can perform marriages legally in Ohio. (wouldn’t it be fun to offer “tag team biker weddings”?) lol
We wanted someone special to marry us and “Reverend Saxon” did a wonderful job.
Of course, I couldn’t have asked for a better “best man”. Kenny was “all grown up” for the day. I was really proud of him.
Ashlee looked beautiful. She was Cara’s “Maid of Honor” and wow, did she do a great job. She really shared her mother’s joy!!
My ushers; Jarrod, Chris, Eric, Jeff, Eric Jr and Shane…. thanks guys for getting stuff done behind the scenes! Without you, things would not have gone as smoothly.
Mark, my long time friend (and business partner) manned the laptop and handled the wedding music. Thanks Mark for helping me setup, tear down and everything in between. Cara and I really appreciated you!
A big “thank you” to all that attended and shared our special day!
Here are a few of our favorites
New Music “Red”
I have new music to share!!
Sunday I was talking to Cara and I couldn’t get over how beautiful her eyes were. Deep blue… she looked stunning. I mean stunning.
A few hours later, I was still thinking about how beautiful this angel is… and how lucky I am to be with her.
I really got it bad here…there should be a little tag at the bottom of the screen “color by Technicolor” - Red is really red now… Blue is deep blue… shiny… brilliant…
I’m sure you get the picture… lol

And each time, I Look into those eyes…I feel the wonder in the face of an angel
A gift wrapped in blue and red equals youRed is Red and Blue is Blue
