In late 2019 a good friend of mine and member of our church choir, Rick Daynes, approached me and said, “The things I do for my kids!” He said his family was putting together a musical based on the experiences of an autistic teenager in high school; These were real-life experiences for his family. Rick is a serial entrepreneur with a can-do attitude. It didn’t matter that he’d never done anything like this before in his life. He’ll figure it out. Therefore, he asked me if I could compose some of the songs. That project led to “Different, The Musical.”

I was privileged to co-create the opening number, BMOC .. Big Man On Campus. This project was a reminder to me that our differences truly are our superpowers.
