Biography
When I first started playing guitar in my teens I really never thought about the serious pursuit of a career in the music business. I figured it might be fun to sit around the house and play just for me. I plucked on an old sears guitar for a little while until one day I decided that I would never learn how to play one of those things.
A few years later, in high school, I discovered that when I sang, people actually enjoyed it! I was encouraged (lured is more like it!) to perform at a school function. I was pretty shy in school and the thought of singing for a crowd, let alone my friends, terrified me. After that one song in front of a

few hundred people I was hooked. Suddenly, this was what I wanted to do more than anything else.
I bought a new guitar and shortly after high school I joined a local band. A few months of education on the
East Texas club circuit reaffirmed my belief that this was the coolest job anyone could possibly dream of. I
could actually make a career out of something that I would do for free!
Now, here I am. A few years older and still loving what I do. I've played for folks all over the country. I've
worked all day just to drive all night to do a show in some place I've never heard of, and still, every time I step
on stage, I get just as nervous and excited, and seem to have more fun every show. My new CD is the product
of the years I've spent doing what I love to do. Created out of the life I have lived and influenced by every
music lover I've ever met, this CD is truly a reflection of me. Thanks to all of you who have let me do this!
