Bio

I was born in Joplin, Missouri but spent most of my life living in Miami, Oklahoma (the same town as Keith Anderson and Joe Don Rooney). I played and sang in several rock bands with Joe Don Rooney in Miami, OK. I graduated from Picher High School and went to NEO A&M for 2 years before joining the U.S. Army. I had a great love for music and performing. I literally played all over the world while I was in the Military: Korea, Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, all over Europe including Kosovo and Macedonia. I was also honored by the Mayor of Hollywood in Kosovo with an Outstanding Achievement award for boosting troop morale. Shortly after my first stint in the Army, I got out to go back to school and further pursue my music career with Joe Don and brother and two other friends. We formed a band called Uncle Thumbtack and won second place at the Philadelphia Music Conference right behind Marcy Playground. Shortly after the band had differences of interest and decided to part ways, I went back in the Army for another four years all the while playing and creating my own unique style of writing.[b][color="black"][/color]
