Children's Hope - Artist Association Program
I'm honored to be teaming up with Children's Hope in a new program for orphan sponsorship. Having adopted my daughter from China 8 years ago, I have a constant reminder in my house of the needs of orphans around the world. Over 143 million children are living without adequate medical care, nutrition and shelter. Most of these children can never be adopted. They are 
destined to live in orphanages or on the street. In 2007, Children's Hope was
able to raise funds to give over $1,000,000 providing food, shelter, schooling, job
training and medical needs to thousands or orphans around the world.

SSM Health Care's "Heritage of Healing" DVD
In the spring and summer of 2006, I was a part of a team of folks who wrote a dramatical presentation detailing the rich history of SSM Healthcare. It was debuted in May, 2006 at SSM's Leadership Conference in Marco Island, FL. By popular demand, the presentation was reworked into a 45 minute documentary woven with very moving images, narration and original music. I wrote an original song, "Carry On" which is featured in the film. To see a clip from the film or hear the full length version of "Carry On", click on the accompanying links below.
