When my voice started cracking uncontrollably, they kicked me out. (You mean that’s NOT pretty?) So I picked up my Dad’s old Gibson guitar, learned a few chords, and started writing songs… some of which were so bad I laugh (and cry) hysterically when I hear them again. (Why did I ever put that on a CD???)
I formed a high school band whose first gig was around my neighbor’s pool. Not quite Madison Square Gardens, but close. Over the next few years we bought a van, hit the road playing music, and had a total blast. There’s something about five stinky dudes in a van driving cross-country that is really hard to beat…
College came around and I went to good ol’ Baylor U. Not a lot of sports victories to celebrate, but the people there were incredible. I made life-long friends and was blessed with lots of opportunities to play my tunes. This past summer I was there again for some performance dates and took the opportunity to write some music. Picture this – gorgeous night, cool breeze, alone on a swing in the middle of campus at 2am… perfect moment right? It was… until the sprinklers kicked on and soaked my guitar and computer. Classic.
After graduation and a few fun years in Houston, I headed to Nashvegas, TN… songwriting capitol of the world! For me, it was the only choice. After lots of soul searching, I realized that at the end of my life I would always wonder “what if” if I chose to stay comfortable. Like an actor in LA, I’m attempting the impossible… but I’ve never been more at peace (or had more fun!).
Upon arrival, it was clear I needed to discover who I was as an artist—to “find my voice,” so to speak. I knew who I liked, and maybe even sounded like a bit, but I had never really found that “thing” that makes my music unique. I may always be on a journey of self-discovery, but with this latest CD offering, I can finally give you “me” in its truest form. I genuinely hope these songs connect with you, stir up some memories, make you belt out in your car, and bring you out to a concert to do it all again.
ground and be a part of yours.

I take time to look around at the place that I've found myself
I pause and observe the surroundings where I currently am
It's a long, long way from home
I am far away from my usual residence
It's still me that you see, don't believe, everything that you hear
Despite rumors or hearsay, I want you to know that I remain true to my character
Just wanna let you know
I simply want to make you aware of something
There's only one thing that can make or break this dream of mine – it's you
You hold the power to determine the success or failure of my aspirations
Did I find my way into your heart
Am I successful in creating a deep emotional connection with you?
Did my voice ring loud and true
Was my expression genuine and impactful?
Did I make my place in history
Have I achieved something significant that will be remembered?
Cause I feel like somethin's breakin through
I sense a breakthrough or realization occurring
Lights flash and fade away, another day is flying by me now
Moments pass rapidly as days continue to unfold
Did I make it count somehow
Did I manage to make a meaningful impact or use my time effectively?
It'd be nice to know you, to find the words to break on through
I desire to connect with you and express myself authentically
To make this last more than just an hour
I hope to extend this experience beyond a fleeting moment
And I'm thinking now, as I look around
Reflecting on my surroundings prompts contemplation
Cause I found my way into your heart
Because I have successfully established a deep emotional connection with you
And now I'm singing loud and true
I am expressing myself confidently and sincerely
I'll take my place in history
I will secure my position in the annals of time
Cause now this someone's breakin through
Because now, I am making a significant breakthrough as an individual
