About Me

Howdy! Well, here’s my story. I’m originally from Colorado, but my musical journey led me first to Los Angeles where I recorded some demos, had a brief stint in a rock band, and did a lot of background singing. There I began work on an alternative country radio program called Altville (www.altville.com). I fell in love with the sounds I heard there, switched gears, and headed to Nashville to focus on songwriting. I’m currently recording an album and should have it available later in the year, so check back! Thanks for visiting.
