Biography

I was born and raised here in Colorado. I grew up in a western lifestyle around cowboys, rodeo hands and country musicians. My grandparents and my mom were my first influence, then as life went along, that list grew. I didn't learn to play guitar until I was about 23, but when I did, that was it. I rodeoed all through high school and still some into my adult years, but first some reason, the guitar overshadowed the riggin and I felt the need to travel a different road.

Awards

2009 C.C.M.A. Male Vocalist of the year, 2009 C.C.M.A. best band of the year, Semi Finalist for Pucketts Rising Star Songwriting competition (Nashville, TN)

I am a very proud family man. I put my heart into everything I do, and I believe that God has blessed me far more than I could ever imagine.
