About Me

In 2006 I broke my foot in a car accident. I was on crutches for nearly 6 weeks. I’m currently in the process of writing a book about how I survived. Stairs, curbs, step ladders and tread mills, you will learn how I dealt with these seemingly simple tasks on a day to day basis. I’ll even talk candidly about how the entire “two legged walking community” turned their backs on me in my time of need. It’s taken years to overcome this personal tragedy and I’m finally ready to tell my story. ____________________________________________________________ __In 2007, I suffered a root canal from a broken tooth. Due to dental bills that spiraled out of control I soon found my self broke, stricken with Gingivitis, and left all but homeless. After several hours of counseling and a monthly payment plan I could afford I was back on my feet. This is when my on going fight with the American Dental Association began. Sure, it’s been an up hill battle, but everyday we’re making real progress. I’ve read the facts, done my own research and I’ve concluded that four out of every five dentist are not enough for the ADA's seal of approval. I’m living proof. ____________________________________________________________ _Despite the earlier mentioned hardships I’ve found time to play guitar. I’ve been lucky enough to play with Mark McKinney since September of 2006. Since then we’ve been all over the state of Texas, Oklahoma, Arkansas and the great city of Nashville; the crowds have been unbelievable. If you haven’t been to a Mark McKinney show you need to do yourself a favor and check it out ASAP. It’s a high energy rocking experience.I’ve also been playing with the Dealers since 2000 and we’ve done well over 300 shows together. In 2008 we will be releasing our ninth CD “Bring Back the Jam” a collection of cool instrumental music with a stereo headphone twist. Keep checking back for advanced cuts and demo’s from the new CD._________________________________________________________ _____
