Born in San Pedro California, and raised as the oldest son of a military man, I spent much of my younger years moving all over the USA. I also spent about 6 years in Germany. I finally settled down, somewhat, in the southern states where I still reside. My first love was always music and I was exposed to a variety of styles from a very early age. I grew up singing in church and school choir groups and yearned for more. I took a job in a restaurant to help pay for college, but got caught up in the work-a-thon that came to be my life. I let it consume me and tear me away from the music that used to be such a huge part of my life. Finally, after way too many wasted years, I came to my senses and began to sing again. I found myself playing acoustic guitar soon afterward and began to write my own songs. I wrote mostly just to occupy myself after work, but the thoroughly enjoyed the release that the music gave me. After a while, I kind of developed a following of friends who began to encourage me to get "out there" with my music and let others hear what I had to say. The rest is history... Or is that future?
