• Operation Smile www.operationsmile.org is a non-profit organization consisting of medical teams that travel the world restoring facial deformities in children and adults. In late 2001 I watched a documentary on the Discovery channel and was deeply affected by their cause. I wanted to do more than just make a donation and approached them about writing a theme song. They accepted and I'm very proud to say that they adopted the song I wrote for them "Bringing A Smile To You" as their 20th anniversary theme song. You can listen to that song on the audio links page!
   

Afterwards I was very graciously invited out to their headquarters in Virginia and given the grand tour of their facilities. It was there that I learned what really goes into the planning of their life changing missions around the world. I even got the chance to be in the operating room while Dr. Magee was working on a patient. Those amazing photos will be uploaded soon in the photo gallery. So I want to thank Bill & Kathy Magee (the founders) and Lisa Jardanhazy for a great experience. Check out their website!
