About Me

Born in 'Sweet Home Alabama' and raised on the combination of my parents' country-based LP collection, good 'ol southern gospel, and the typcial pop/rock that surrounded me growing up, I currently live in the Nashville area working as a musician and novis songwriter. Specifically, I play drums for a smokin' new country trio named Carolina Rain. Their debut album, "Weather The Storm," was released in the fall of 2006 and is available anywhere records are sold. Feel free to check out their page here and website (www.carolinarain.net) In addition, I formed the Birmingham, Al based classic pop/rock cover band 'Trio' in 2003, which still gigs the local club scene when possible. As for my personal specs, I'm single and my hobbies include exercise, fishing, basking in the college football season (Roll Tide), and simply hanging out with family and friends. Check out my page ... and drop me a line or two if you'd like. Godspeed.
