About Me

I am originaly from West Texas,started a music career at the age of 19 and was a lead singer for 18 years.I've lived in Austin,NY,Chicago,DC and now LA for the last 15 years .I spend most of my time in LA but also have a home in Austin where I R.I.P and stuff myself with BBQ for a week out of the month.I own a small construction company and also do print modeling/I'm not camera shy at all.I have been making the transition into film and TV and recently produced and hosted my own dirt bike show [Enduro-X-America] with Emmy award winners Peter Bailey and Danny Cordinez.We are currently negotiating with several networks trying to make the numbers work.EXA will be featuring celebrity guest rider's as well as high profile people from the business and entertainment world.They will be competing against each other in some of mother natures most hostile terrains for "CASH" and lots of it.I still write music when I am inspired and sit in with local bands from time to time to keep my chops up.I am a very passionate person and love to make people laugh,in my next life I want to be a stand up comedian or maybe I'll put that on the "to do list" this time around. I am always up for meeting new people and thrive on reinventing myself and firmly believe life is a gift and every day you wake up and take your first breath it's another chance at making the rest of your life whatever you want it to be!Nothing makes me smile more than practicing random acts of kindness and watching peoples face light up when they see there is still chivalry in the world.

My Interests

I am into anything on 2 wheels, dirt bikes, street bikes, mountain bikes, you get the idea.I love the outdoors and beautiful remote places that no one else knows about. My most peaceful moments in life are waist deep in a Trout Stream or riding 50 miles into the Mojave Desert where all I can hear is the wind.
