About Me

I've been performing professionally for a while now as an actor, and now I'm playing with the Celtic band The Tartan Terrors. I've got a lot of different influences from many different styles, but at the end of the day I was born a Southern boy, so there is always a bit of a "country fried" sound to my voice. I used to fight it, but now I embrace it. Be happy of who you are and where you are from.
