Rock In Prevention, Inc. and Mission FG Records President & CEO
Des Moines, IA. 50325
I love music, writing and creating music completes me. I started Mission FG Records and Mission FG Music in 1985 and have 17 releases since that time. I created the Rock In Prevention program that uses songs as teaching tools in 1990. Since that time we have trained over 1.5 million kids and teachers in methods and skills to prevent bullying and drug use. We basically teach life skills for success. We train local high school mentors that with our staff train teachers and their students together so everyone is on the same page. We sing our ABC's to learn the basics of reading. Music is a powerful way to help people of all ages be inspired and to learn. I am so pumped to finally get the ASCAP EXPO after a lot of years of going it alone. I have so much to learn about the creative process, song writing, and the music business it makes me shake my head. God help me. :-)
