About Me

I was born in the Netherlands, Rotterdam to be precise, to a Dutch mother and a then Yugoslav now Croatian father. I am still a proud Dutch citizen. My family moved to the U.S. when I was only two. We lived north of the Bay Area in California in San Rafael. When I was seven, my family moved to Texas, where I have been ever since. Mainly in Friendswood and Houston, but in 2000 I met my future wife, and in 2002 we were wed and moved to Fort Worth. In 2004 we had a beautiful son, who grows more amazing with each passing day. In 2005 I moved to Breckenridge, and have been here since. Somewhere, along the way I picked up a guitar, around the age of 18. I am lucky enough to be a stay at home dad and pursue my musical endeavors. I have played in several bands on this musical journey: Jackson Gravey, Waited a Light Year, the Dirty Mac (Beatles/Rolling Stones/Who cover band), a C&W cover band (whose name I have forgotten), Delfi, the Rats & Children (Radiohead forgery), and my current outfit, Sunward.
I am now also available on Facebook .
