JK grew up as a kid in Georgetown, California, a small town in the Sierra Nevada Foothills population 900 Sa-a-a-lute!! He graduated High School in 1976 from Idabel, Oklahoma, majoring in FFA (Future Farmers of America). Soon after graduating he made the move back to Georgetown where he started hauling septic tanks for Georgetown Precast. They were number one in the number two business!
JK started singing in a band with his brother BK, called Troubleshooter, before joining City Kidd in 1983 later known as Tesla. JK won a singing contest and was introduced to the guys through some friends who knew the band. Despite his lack of experience at the time it was his unique and raspy voice that caught the band’s ear.
JK is a huge country music fan and is working in his spare time in Nashville, Tennesse, with his partners Kent Goodson and Pat Boone from the George Jones band.
JK is an avid lover of animals and has a huge heart for rescuing homeless animals. One day, when walking into an Oakland Raiders game, a starving dog was wandering the parking lot looking for food and JK decided to skip the game and take him home. A short time later when the band was recording the Real to Reel album in Texas, JK discovered a homeless mother dog with puppies and he then drove them all the way to his home in California. These acts of love were recoginized by ARF (Animal Rescue Foundation) and JK received the “Evie Award” for his efforts. The dogs’ names are Okie, Cali and the pups. They are happy and healthy today.
Just recently, in July 2009, JK a.k.a.”Hoss” married the girl of his dreams Vera a.k.a.”Mrs. Hoss” , he now lives very happily with his wife and his daughter Courtney in Granite Bay, California. They enjoy riding their horses together off into the sunset….
Love and Peace Out!
