I am a simple singer/songwriter from Alvarado, Texas. I'm not much on boasting on myself because it usaully comes back to bite me. I am a jack of all trades, master of none. Which means that I play a lot of instruments very well but will never be an expert at any of them. I focus on songwriting and have been blessed enough with the other talents to record my own demo's if better musicians are not available. I am currently surving in the U.S. Army.

I am a simple singer/songwriter from Alvarado, Texas. I'm not much on boasting on myself because it usaully comes back to bite me. I am a jack of all trades, master of none. Which means that I play a lot of instruments very well but will never be an expert at any of them. I focus on songwriting and have been blessed enough with the other talents to record my own demo's if better musicians are not available. I am currently surving in the U.S. Army. I am also currently in Iraq. I've been playing music pretty much my whole life. I attended college from 2001-2004 studying recording engineering. At the begining of 2004 I married my girlfriend of three years and at the very end of 2004 we had a son. Unfortunately, my son was born with a mild case of spina bifida and though we were somewhat comfortable finacially... we had nothing for insurance. This is where the army came into play... Military insurance is the best. Though I've had to take some time off... I'm currently hitting my music hard again and playing whenever an opportunity presents itself... even in Iraq. Thanks for taking the time to read my story. If you decide to listen to any of my music... please let me know what you think. I love critisizm... Good or bad
