This is where the bio section usually is on websites, but I've got to say... I'm just thankful that you've come to check this out in the first place.  I have a hard time doing what a lot of these sections of band/musician websites tend to do which is to extol the "wonderful virtues of me" lol, so I'll just say that I have been very blessed to have had people willing to keep coming out and ​spending their time and money to spend some time with me.  For that I am greatly humbled and forever grateful.  I suppose there is no real way around dropping some little factoids about myself though, so here goes...

​

I started playing music in the fifth grade band in New Martinsville, West Virginia, and have known since then that music is something that I can't be without in my life.  I have played in several different groups and on my own as a solo act professionally since 1993. I have since played in 41 states, and have opened for acts including Gregg Allman, The Marshall Tucker Band, Leon Russell, Bo Diddley, David Allan Coe, Foghat, 38 Special, and many others. I have been based (for varying amounts of time) in the New Martinsville/Wheeling West Virginia, Myrtle Beach, South Carolina, and Ventura, California areas, but now make central Ohio my home.  I look very forward to trying my absolute best to continue having people find what I do entertaining and coming out and hanging out with me for more great times.  Thank you very much for reading through this, and please drop me a note and say hello.  Hope to see you soon.
