His upcoming book, "NEMS and the Business of Selling Beatles Merchandise in the U.S. 1964-1966", covers officially licensed Beatles items in the U.S. between 1964-1966.

He has two free skills on the market which make it easier for Beatles/rock ‘n roll fans to follow the iconic band’s past calendar events.

The “Daily Beatle Facts” skill offers you a daily dose of Fab Four history by giving you an interesting fact about the Beatles every day. It is updated often with new information and trivia about the greatest band in the world!
And of course, he teaches online classes through his 'faBgear education' site through the TeachAble website. His first class is "Route 66", and soon two other courses will become available, one on "The Beatles" and one on "The History of Rock and Roll."
