Born in Florida in 1981, I was raised between Northeast Tennessee and Northeast Florida, splitting my childhood between life on a Tennessee farm and the Florida countryside. Growing up in a military family with a retired Marine father and a faithful Christian mother taught me the values of hard work, integrity, resilience, and compassion—principles that continue to shape both my life and my music.
I grew up listening to everything I could get my hands on, but it was rock & roll, blues, Southern rock, and country that truly captured my heart. Those influences come together in songs rooted in honest storytelling, real emotions, and the people and places that made me who I am.
Every song I write reflects a piece of my journey. Whether it's about love, loss, faith, hope, or life on the backroads, my goal is simple: create authentic music that connects with listeners and reminds them that every story matters.
