Hi guys! From as long as can remember — music has always been a big part of my life. Music is my passion and is second nature to me. As I little boy, I watched my Grandpap and Uncle Joe make music and seeing first hand how much fun they had and how happy it made people — I was hooked!! Since I first started playing bass in 1976 at the age of 4, I wanted more, so I taught myself to play the guitar in 1988 and mandolin shortly thereafter. Some people say that I’m a great guitar player—I guess I’m my own worst critic. I just do the best I can and have fun with it because no matter how good are — there is always someone better :-). I have been doing live shows now for 15 years and will continue my passion as long as I can. I am truly humbled to have a team of the best talented musicians around that are an absolute blast to work with and are focused on the same goals. Over the years I have had the opportunity to play along side some true musical greats such as Toby Keith, Brooks and Dunn, Brad Paisley, Reba McEntire, Big and Rich, Sara Evans and even I played w/ David Allen Coe for an evening—(That’ s another interesting story in-itself). I grew up with classic country but cut my teeth on modern country with The Shooters Band. Prior to that I played with the top 40/rock bands Mainstreet and The Edge. Other guitar players have told me I’m a “player’s player†and really have a style of my own — come out and see and you be the judge!!
