    • About Me

      I was diagnosed withe type 2 in 2002 after a mild heart attack. I've recently had another in January of this year (thankfully another very mild one). I'm doing well and determined that nothing will get me down. My wife & my many friends have helped me realize what's really important in life. I'm committed to improving my health through better diet and healthier living.

    • Close Diabetes Type 2

      I was diagnosed with type 2 diabetes 5 years ago after suffering a mild heart attack. When they couldn't get my cholesterol down, they ran the test for diabetes. I had symptoms for some time before that, but never made the connection. Since my diagnosis, I have used my music talents to help educate and inform others about my illness, and raise money for diabetes charities as well. I cope well overall, although like all of us I have my days.
