Rocky has pursued three main interests throughout his life; music performance, sales and management, Yoga and mindfulness.

After leaving radio he returned to his first career, singing and acting with a goal of raising one million dollars for charity with his performances. He has created multiple shows of the Great American Songbook featuring Cole Porter, The Gershwin Brothers, Irving Berlin and more. Rocky recorded his Cole Porter CD, Easy to Love with the Portland Chamber Orchestra. More at Rocky’s website: www.thecrooner.net
