Blige, Vanessa Williams and Natalie Cole. In addition, he was selected to fill positions for the 2002 Olympic Winter Games in Salt Lake City, Utah and the 1994 World Cup opening ceremonies in Washington D.C.
A graduate of the University of Georgia, he resides with his wife, Patti, and daughters, Whitney and Sydney, in Alpharetta, Georgia.
