  Bio:  

I’ve been playing guitar since the 60’s and off and on in various local bands throughout the years. I am currently concentrating on songwriting.

I got interested more and more in the modern country music and in Americana since the mid 1990’s. The music I was writing was often labeled as Americana. I attribute this to my many influences of Rock N’ Roll, English Pop/Rock, Blues and Southern Rock.

I have been trying to concentrate on Modern Country with the goal of writing commercially viable songs for radio and potential background tracks. Since joining NSAI I have started Co-writing. I have found enjoyment with collaborative nature and the results that benefit from it. My Country influences today Brooks & Dunn, Artists with a Southern Rock style, Brad Paisley, Keith Urban.
