About Me

I grew up in a small, West Texas town called Stanton. After graduating high school, I moved to Austin and began going to school and playing/recording/writing music.In 2000, I had a chance to play bass on an album for Virgin Records with my good friends in Cosmic Cowboys. I currently play bass with my cousin Mark Mckinney (www.myspace.com/markmckinney). I also play guitar with the Vallejo bros in Bang, a sick, slick metal band from the strip (www.myspace.com/bangatx). I was playing guitar for Truth For Leo (www.myspace.com/truthforleo) - there's some really good songs there, check 'em out.When I'm not rocking and blowing people's heads up with the rock, I buy and sell real estate all over Texas for a company based out of Austin. I also have some homes in Midland, Texas that I manage and lease with my business partner. Keeping that West Texas connection...

My Interests
