About Me



I am from Hampton VA. I've played in bands almost all of my life in Hampton Roads and I've had some great times with some really great people. Music was a true passion in life growing up and it continues to be my "Great Escape" today as well. Currently I am working on a solo project which is compiled of songs that are either brand new or old songs that have been in my life for a really long time. This project is a work in progress and as of now it has no release date. There are however, many things on this page to keep everyone in the loop in the mean time. If your interested, please read my blog on this page. It's entirely devoted to my music. Also please check out my podcast, 'The Twilight Series' located over there on the left-hand side. Thanks for stopping by!!

THIS I KNOW
