I was born in Louisville, Kentucky and attended both Henry County and Eminence Independent High schools. My parents are Kentucky natives and currently reside in a small farming community just outside Louisville. I grew up on a farm with four other siblings where we learned to work on the farm at an early age. All the surrounding farmers would hire me each summer to help put in their crops. I went off to college where I spent more time wasting time than attending classes. I got married and had two handsome and talented sons.

I started writing songs many years ago, but never thought to actually record. After the prodding of many family and friends, I took the time to make it happen. With alot of persistance, I finally got someone to listen to me play and who wanted to record my first album.

  I come from a long line of very talented people. I always enjoyed hearing my Mom play the piano in church while Dad sang in the choir. We never attended a party or picnic in the community that Dad, and his guitar companions, didn't play the guitar and sing. My brothers, my sister, and I always dabbled with playing the guitar together. These made music an everyday part of life around our house.

In order to finish a song I usually have to take the idea and toy with it for weeks on end to get it in good enough shape to try with the band. I have completed enough songs and music for the next album, "Guitar Grace". I am very excited and anxious for these new songs to be heard.

I have been asked, "When are you gonna be famous?" I answer this by saying I already am. Of course I'm not "famous", but my family, friends, nieces and nephews, love my music. I am "daring to dream" the dream of making it in the music business, but truthfully I already have
