Early influences where Elvis, Chuck Berry and the Beatles. After he graduated in 1995 he picked up a bass guitar for the first time so he could jam in his buddy’s rock band. He had a lot to learn but he had caught the rock and roll bug. Influences expanded to Led Zeppelin, Guns and Roses, Metallica and Nirvana. In 1996 he began studying under Mark Ferguson, Legendary Red, Hot and Blue rockabilly guitarist, at the renowned Sound Post studio in East Ridge Tennessee.

His influences grew further with Bob Dylan, Neil Young, Widespread Panic and Government Mule among many others. In 2001 he graduated from college and moved back to Ringgold to settle down. He soon picked up his bass guitar once again to play in a friend’s rock band. This led to a collaboration with Nathan Love to write and record an original body of music. The compilation of rock songs were described as eclectic and innovative. The process of recording original
