Consulting Consultants: Introduction & “On the Bench”
Last week I started a new job as a Senior Consultant for one of the larger consulting firms here in Houston, Texas.

New Music Tuesdays on Hiatus
I have to place this weekly article on hold for the time being. Mainly because I can not find an accurate source for album releases. The Billboard.com page for releases has been wrong on at least 2-3 occasions. If of … Continue reading
