I'm 26 years old, born and raised in Indianapolis, Indiana. I attended a private high school in Indianapolis, where my focus was sports. I then attended college in Muncie, Indiana at Ball State University where I continued with athletics, playing volleyball. During my freshmen year at BSU, I also became very interested in becoming a musician. Self-taught, things progressed very quickly. Now music is my life and full-time job. I sing and play piano, guitar, bass, mandolin, harmonica, and ukulele. I moved to the east coast in March 2006 to perform near Virginia Beach, VA. I've been fortunate enough to play gigs in Indiana, Ohio, Virginia, Maryland, New Jersey, New York, and Texas. In September of 2009 I moved to Texas for a change of scenery and hopefully another step forward in my music career. Thanks for stopping by!
Hey thanks for the add! Hope you enjoy the music. Be sure to check out the snippet of my upcoming song, "Missing You" and let me know what you think :)
HELLO :) soo i'd love to see your face sometime in the near future. i feel like it's been forever. perhaps like the day you performed at the delaware county fair in your shirt that had a seal on it...yeah it's been a while. we should probably try to fix that :)
that's awesome. good to hear. i just moved back to the area actually from TX, it was a good time away. I have a few friends in VA Beach when I make it down that way I'll let you know. its good to hear you are doing well.
Thanks for the compliment on Corbin. He's in Kindergarten this year and turning 6 in 3 weeks. He's my oldest of the 4 boys. Exciting life. :) Oh, and you arent the only one.... Smitty was talking about it just the other day.
