WELCOME TO KINDRED SPIRIT GROUP!

After more than 20 years, we have decided to open our own company of consultation, management, creative development, design and more, and not just limit our talents to live entertainment or special events.  I’ll admit it. This was for me, more than it was for my partner in crime.  I’ve spent the last 14 years learning more, playing more and working harder than at any other time in my entire life.  However, it was time to for me to step away and work on projects that I truly believe in.  Projects which mean something  – to me and to others.

I speak and work from both my heart and my head.  I pride myself in being truthful and realistic.  I won’t pretend that something will work just to appease its creator.  Don’t get me wrong.  I want projects to succeed, whether I’m a part of them or not.  But the truth is that some things simply won’t work, no matter how hard you try or how much money you put into them.

On the other hand, I also pride myself in thinking outside of the box, working on projects and subject matter that no one else knows how to manage.  My adrenaline reaches a high when I see the potential in something, which others see as impossible.  I enjoy taking all of the skills and resources from the variety of outlets I’ve been a part of and bringing them together to create something never before achieved.

So until then, stay tuned to see what unfolds.  Because you never know, it could even be in your own backyard.
