About Me

In case you've visited here before you'll notice that this portion has changed (thanks for coming back by the way). Nobody reads that bio stuff and if you really want to know where I was born and how old I was when i first picked up a guitar, send me a note....it's actually a very interesting story.
10 things you didn't know about me:
1. I opened a show for Tim Mcgraw! Well...I opened for the opener who opened for the opener's opener...but practically opened for him.
2. I landed in Fiji after a year in Australia with only a $2 Australian coin in my pocket. Luckily a Fijian lady I met at the airport took me in for 3 days until my Dad paid off my credit card (I then booked a 2 week holiday on a fijian Island with the money...thanks Dad.)
3. I am so much cooler online.
4. I accidentally deleted a picture of my friend Jackie with Toby Keith...and I still feel horrible about it. (Toby, if you're out there, help a brother out)
5. One time I went blind from a tanning bed. Well...the lights were off when the bed shut down and I thought I was blind. I screamed for help right before I found the light switch (don't laugh...it was scary and it could happen to you).
6. Nobody laughs harder at me....than me.
7. There was a day when I rode bulls. True, yes! But I wasn't very good at it...I think I only did it because the girls liked it.
8. I am currently writing for my debut album.
9. My cousin Duane taught me how to swear in a tool shed on his farm. He denies it, but it's true....he taught me all of them.
10. I want to write music that makes you feel.
