Biography
I was born to parents Donna and Rick on March 4th, 1982 in Eglin Air Force Base, Ft. Walton Beach Florida. Most of my natural life has been on the Gulf Coast, so naturally I love the beach and all the stuff that comes along with a Florida lifestyle. Luckily, I grew up with a better than average head on my shoulders, which to this day I still haven't used to nearly its full potential, but hell, I have it so it's there if I need it, right? I graduated highschool fron Navarre High and made some great friends that I'll never forget. After torturing my teachers for those four years I moved to Pensacola where I first became serious with music, mostly as a means to fight boredom. Over the last five years I've been in and out of bands, met some incredible musician's, played many gigs, and wrote many songs. The main purpose of me getting this site is to sling some of my better songs thorugh Taxi to see if any of the Big Fish in the music biz wanna bite on my tasty hooks. I love music, and I look forward to the different songs I will continue to come up with throughout my life. Ultimately, I would love to have my music get to the point where it can support my family in comfort. Until then, enjoy and if ya like it, tell a couple friends and your momma!
