Founded in 2011, Rock In The Fast Lane is a music media press site that pays homage to the Hard Rock and Heavy Metal genre and spotlights the classic artists as well as the young, up-and-coming artists. I am also a music professional in PR/Media interviewing and promoting artists from established record labels such as Frontiers Records (Italy), AFM Records (Germany), High Roller Records (Germany), Escape Music (UK) etc…, The site is always looking to expand the reach for all of the artists that are covered and to help put their music into the ears of their current as well as future fans.
I am also the Host of the Hard Rock And Metal Podcast "Talk In The Fast Lane." The show celebrated it's 10th Season and 100th Episode in 2024 and continues to establish itself as one of the premiere shows for the Hard Rock and Metal community.

I have worked with many National and International artists over my 11+ years in the business (Ronnie Munroe ex Metal Church, Sven Gali Band (Canada), Abstract Symphony (Chile) just some examples.
