About Me



I’m the keyboard player/songwriter for Nashville band The Addiction.
I’ve recently started branching out a bit and recording some of my other songs, and will be posting many more on this page in the coming months. Enjoy the first few entries on my music page in the meantime, which were masterfully produced by the uber-talented Robert Wright.
More to come soon!
Information about my upcoming writer showcases and shows with The Addiction will be posted here.
