About Me

I've been playing guitar and singing for about 20 years now, and I figured out early on I was more gifted as a songwriter than a player. Ever since I was a little kid, it seems I had songs in my head. The Lord has now blessed me with the ability to write them down and perform them. In the past several years I've played solo, led praise and worship at my church, and currently play with 'SlawDog'.
