Chuck was the musician and DJ for our magical wedding in Anna Maria Island, Florida. We met him by…read moreway of his wife, Dara, who was our photographer. He frequently performs at different restaurants on Anna Maria and is a talented singer, guitarist and piano player. For our day, he performed acoustic guitar, and DJ'd the reception. He was so wonderful to work with, especially considering we made all the plans from Chicago. I sent him a list of about 50 songs we really wanted to hear that night. He had practically all of them, and those he didn't he acquired. Being the pre-wedding ditz I was, my hubby and I hadn't picked our "first dance" yet. We had narrowed it down to five songs. Oops. Chuck called me the day before, totally cool, and before I caught on, he had made the choice for us! (Sneaky.) He told me how much he loved the song, and how perfect it would be. Wow did he call it. It was truly the most amazing moment of both our lives. We still slow dance to this day to TV Carpio doing the sweetest rendition of "I Want to Hold Your Hand." Chuck choreographed the whole night into an unforgettable experience that no one will soon forget.

His studio is wheelchair accessible with caveats: The driveway is gravel and has a rather steep incline. Also, the room where the keyboard is has a step down into it like a typical Florida room but that is no obstacle because Robert gladly finds solutions that allow access. He only sees disabilities in so far as finding ways to work around them with empathy and "can-do" patience.
