I'm a native Austinite who has always been a big music fan, from an early age I have been fascinated with songs, lyrics and arrangements, some of my biggest songwriting heroes are Billy Joe Shaver, Townes Van Zant, Rodney Crowell, Harlan Howard and Hank Cochran. I started noodling on a guitar for the first time working the graveyard shift at Austin State Hospital back in 97 and haven't put it down since. I've enjoyed the fun I have had and the friends I have made on my musical journey ! Keepin it COUNTRY and keepin it REAL !
