Musicians who, even through all the struggles, find a way to make it through and continue playing their music. Musicians who, instead of complaining and blaming other people, do something to make it in this crazy business. Musicians who go out there every night and give the audience everything they've got, whether it's 2 or 2,000 people. You are my hero!
I have several passions in life. My wife and our son or daughter that is expected in November are the most important to me. I don't know what I would do without them. I am a drummer by trade. I have spent many years on many stages performing for whoever will listen. I have been fortunate enough to have played with some pretty big touring groups. (Jason Allen, Diamond Back Texas {touring band for Billy Joe Shaver}, Zack Walther and the Cronkites, Jarrod Birmingham, James Lann, Ryan T Briggs & the Redneck Hippies, Jason Marbach, Big John Mills and several others.) Every band I have performed with has taught me something more about my playing and what I need to work on or what I am good at. I cherish every band for different reasons and have been honored to have been asked to play. I have also spent many years on the business side of music. I have done everything from booking, management and artist development to running sound, show production and being a roadie for Van Halen.
South Plains College in Levelland TX is where I spent a lot of time learning about music. There, I studied Drums, voice, guitar, music law, music business, performance and promotion, live sound, studio recording, music theory, and I was asked to perform in several ensembles for the school including Thursday Night Live (country and rock), western swing, christian, and another country ensemble.
I will always be a musician. My dream is to be able to support my family on music alone and tour with a great band that works hard at their craft. I look forward to the day that dream will come true.
