I started at age 14 playing bass in a band called Coolslide. Played with them until I started playing lead in another band called Neon Knights. After coming home from the military I took a few years off but started writing and playing seriously again about 5 years ago. So no matter what, I have tried to stay versatile. Music is music. I cannot say I have a favorite genre of music. When it comes to writing however, you will find that a lot of my songs are very much based on real life. I have had so many emails about how my songs have touched people very deeply and personally. I know sometimes the truth is hard to face, but as long as its out there, I will write about it.   After serving my time in the military my life took me down some tough roads. I've used those times as inspiration for my songs. A lot of what I write is reality based and heartfelt. Some of it has been considered quite controversial. Writing and singing has been my life passion. I want to thank my mom, who's survived lung cancer 4x, covid 3x, copd and has shown me multiple times, attitude is everything.  My dear Dea who has stood by me in this journey over the last few years, you are my reason for pushing on. So many times I've wanted to give up and just lay down for that eternal dirt nap, however you constantly remind me, I am not a quitter. I also thank all whom haven't supported me, or whom have said I wasn't good enough. You also are my inspiration, cause you push me to get better and better all the time.  My extra special thanks goes to Garry Gosney, my dear friend of 20+ years from Australia. He has really shown faith in me, and continued encouraging me, and I am forever indebted. I've had a passion for music since I was merely a child.  I grew up an only child in a small town.  Life was always one fight after another, especially in both middle and high school.  For whatever reason after graduation I joined the Navy and shipped off to what literally became yet another living hell.  After taking a beating that has haunted my sleep ever since, I got out and returned to home. Dealing with PTSD I found a great outlet in song writing.  In approximately the last 20 years I've written well over 300 songs.  Needless to say not only has song writing and performing been great therapy, but it's saved my life countless times.  Over the last 20 years Ive fought depression, addiction, suicide attempts, and terrible anxiety.  I refuse to label my music any specific genre, because I love pretty much every style.  I like to call it country infused rock and technotronic metal.  LOL.  Anyway enough about me, lets get to the music....
