I want to thank you for wanting to know more about me. From my perspective, who I am isn't about what I do, but is based rather on more intangible things that when balanced result in such things as motivations, actions and ultimately everything I do; for instance my values, my relationship with my family, and most important to me--faith in God.
As a Chaplain my goal is to provide counsel and support for Industry Professionals of all kinds, as well as up-and-coming talent and celebrities (by whatever definition you use for that strangely shifting concept). Our Chaplaincy services would be similar in concept to what military chaplains do, but in corporate and private settings.
Do we do Spiritual Life Coaching? Yes.
Do we bring teams of chaplains onto movie sets, location shoots and into corporations? Yes
Do we provide chaplains for bands and individuals? Yes.
There was a time when most Entertainment Industry studios and record companies had staff-chaplains offering on-site ministry services for employees and talent. The era ended in the early 1970's when liability laws in the USA changed. We are reintroducing the chaplains service to the Industry worldwide. What we do is a form of Corporate Chaplaincy, which has an 80 year history in Corporate America, excluding the Entertainment Industry. Coca Cola Corporation and Tyson Foods are just two examples of Fortune 500 companies that outsource employee care to on-site chaplain organizations. We also provide services to bands, models, authors, journalists and others in the form of spiritual life coaching.
Being involved in the Industry is in my blood. My family has more than 150 years of experience in the Entertainment all over the world. I am a licensed minister with a background in the arts. I've spoken, taught, performed or preached in thousands of venues worldwide. I am a published poet, done television commercials and worked in theater, both as a lighting designer and an actor. I am a classically trained vocalist who's performed solo, with bands and groups of various musical genres. Other than voice, I learned my first instrument when I was seven. As far as celebrity goes, I'd fit into our ProVips.com "definition of a celebrity" as a "niche celebrity." Most people wouldn't have a clue who I am, yet there are thousands of people of select demographics and venues who would recognize me, or the groups of which I've been a member. I'm probably more well-known by celebrities and up-and-coming talent (or their agents, managers and publicists), than the general public.
My staff and I would love to speak with you and be of any assistance we can for you, artists you know or represent, your company--your friend, or your family. I've been immensely blessed and impressed by the power of social networking to connect people. I count among my dearest friends people I would never have otherwise met, because of it. If you know of someone we should meet, don't be afraid to let us know. We love meeting people. It's kind of what Chaplains do!
Warm Regards,
