Never Too Much...Never Too Fast!

About Me



A little about myself...I've been playing the bass guitar for almost 18 yrs. now and with the Big Man upstairs blessing, I'll be playing it until the day I meet him. I am a complete music freak. It's never not on my mind. I've been in many different bands over the years. Ranging from Hardcore Speed Metal, to Blues, to CHurch/Inspirational, and most in between. I settled into the Country scene about 11 yrs. ago. Tried it because I hadn't yet...and well...I loved it. Jammed a couple years in a great band that taught me more about playing then I've ever learned. They all had been playing longer than I was alive!! I'll never forget "Yankee Blue". Then I joined THe Branded Band and it's been my true passion ever since. I'm lucky enough to be playing and making music with my best friends. I ride my Harley as much as the Michigan weather allows me too. I hunt, fish, and am all about being outside. That's about it...oh and I'm stubborn as a mule, and can kick like one too. Later.

My Interests
