I am here for Networking

About Me

So I'm pretty much one of THOSE guys who consumes his life with music and very little else. I currently have a band I'm fronting and playing guitar for with my bro Cody on the bass, Jesse Floyd on the other axe, and the "illustrious" Daniel Brasuell beating on anything resembling a drum. This beast of a band is known as "CAPRICE" You heard about it here first. Big, Dirty South, Stanky, Heavy, Camaro ROCK!! Or would it now be called "Caprice Rock"? Hmmmmmmmm........I guess it can't all be about the music..... I'm engaged to a beautiful woman who puts up with me and every annoying habit I probably have. I work for Gibson Guitars here in Nashville. I have a degree that, 6 years later, I finally seem to be putting to use. At least, until I become a big, famous, rich, spoiled rock star???

My Interests
