About the author
Jimmy Brandmeier is “the dad” in a crazy household filled with 3 teenage daughters (Jamie, Jessie, and Josie), Paula, his wife of 20 years, 3 doves, 6 goldfish, a cat named Squeakers, and last but not least, Satchmo, a big, hairy yellow lab named after Louie Armstrong. Jimmy and Paula moved their family from Hollywood to Wisconsin to raise their kids closer to family. They manage to be hands-on parents despite the demands of two busy careers. He’s a music industry veteran flying back and forth to California and she’s an airline pilot flying back and forth to Europe. In addition to being “the dad,” Brandmeier is a Telly Award-winning composer and Summit Award-winning marketer. He’s worked with artists ranging from Kenny Loggins to Jason Mraz, written jingles for brands from Mazda to Mattel, performed in venues from town halls to Carnegie Hall, and garnered media coverage from Oprah to Rachael Ray.
