Biography
I was born in Lawrenceville GA but was raised on a farm in Rienzi MS. Coming from a musical family I began singing at age five and playing guitar and bass by age eight. Slowly learning the craft by thirteen I was playing behind my father in church and several other venues in the mid-south area playing country and gospel music. My baritone voice and extended stage charisma made country music my first and finest choice. I began playing and singing professionally at age seventeen performing at taverns and family dances throughout the Mississippi/Tennessee/Alabama region. In 1994 I attended Northeast Mississippi Community College and joined the Campus Country group while working toward a degree in drafting and design technology. The group allowed me to further hone my skills by teaching me the number system and general stage etiquette through our many performances for the college.
After college I moved to Nashville for a brief time to pursue my career at a professional level. However, life throws you curves and during that time I got married, started a family and decided that I better be a good father and be around for my daughter. My wife and I quickly moved back to west tennessee before the birth of my daughter. I guess some dreams are best put on hold for a while so we can live others and I wouldn't change a thing being there for my daughter when she needed me most.
I guess through the years my music has helped me to win several accolades from local talent competitions and karaoke nights to the title of "Country Showdown Champion".
I have opened shows for many major artists such as Neal McCoy, Billy Ray Cyrus, Richochet, Daryl Worley, Kentucky Headhunters and Restless heart just to name a few.
I have some other hobbies which include hanging out with my beautiful wife Bridget and my lovely daughter Megan (also quite a singer and entertainer) and the sunshine of my life. I enjoy walking in the woods and riding up and down the river, southern foods and above all good country music. By good country music I mean all of it cause they don't make any bad country music
