I AM A SELF-TAUGHT MUSICIAN AND HAVE BEEN PLAYING OUT AND WRITING FOR 20 YEARS. SOME OF MY MAJOR INFLUENCES ARE JOURNEY, TOTO, ASIA, BRYAN ADAMS, THE DOORS, AMBROSIA, DOKKEN, GARTH BROOKS, RASCAL FLATS, DIAMOND RIO AND DAVE WECKL TO NAME A FEW. I WRITE FROM MY OWN EXPERIENCES. EVERYTHING FROM THE PAIN OF MY DIVORCE TO BEING IN LOVE AND THE MAGIC IT BRINGS IS IN MY MUSIC. MY VOICE HAS NEVER BEEN COMPARED TO ANOTHER ARTIST AND I AM PASSIONATE ABOUT MY SONGS. WOMEN SEEM TO DIG ME IN MY BLACK HAT. LOL. I ALSO NEVER FORGET THE PEOPLE WHO HAVE HELPED ME OR ENCOURAGED ME IN LIFE. I TREAT OTHERS LIKE I HOPE TO BE TREATED.
