A songwriter at heart, J.R. has performed with many unsuccessful local rock bands since he was a child and has written for equally unsuccessful musical theatre. He co-wrote a musical version of “The Scarlet Letter” that, in 2001, had a quaint, successful run in New York.

Most of all, after a good day’s work J.R. enjoys coming home to spend time with his wonderful wife.
