About Me

I remain dedicated towards my passion for music. Now in my second year of pursuing music professionally -I am fortunate to have worked with some fantastic individuals and blessed beyond measure by my supportive fans. I released my first album this year, "Projections and Reflections." The album provides a glance at my world in the last two years. I am already in the process of working on another album -this one to be heavily influenced by swing jazz of the 1920's and 30's. Look for its release towards the end of 2009.

Outside of my own booking & performing I am involved in a number of projects.. I am the Entertainment Coordinator at the Red Cup in OKC. I manage their bookings, promotions, special events.

I am the founder of AVANTE GARDE ENTERTAINMENT, a local-run booking agency with a unique mission. Our focus is to promote those artists who are actively producing their own music. It is our intent to see Oklahoma emerge as an authoritative source for progressive musical talent on a national scale.

We represent a diverse group of performers to include but a few: CAMILLE HARP, STEPHANIE JACKSON, SUNSHINE HAHN, BRITTANI MOON. Those interested in booking may contact me via myspace, [email protected], or phone (405-426-0877)

GUITAR INSTRUCTORS: I am currently studying guitar under TRAVIS LINVILLE & MARK LYON. I have also received instruction from Mike Hosty, Allen Orebaugh of Mama Sweet, Thomas Anderson, Otis Watkins, Johnny Garrett, Beth Cox, and Brittani Moon.
