Music has been the constant thread throughout my life. I stepped onto my first West Texas stage at just 14 years old, cutting my teeth in the heart of traditional Texas music culture. That early start sparked a lifelong dedication to live performance, carrying me through private events in Houston, regional circuits, and years of fronting and backing Country Rock and Oldies Rock bands following my service in the U.S. Navy.

Over the decades, my journey has included co-founding local acts like The Skeleton Crew in Coastal Bend, serving as a featured multi-instrumentalist in praise teams across Portland, Texas—stepping out on lead electric guitars, mandolin, banjo, and lap steel—and engineering sound in my own recording studios in Corpus Christi and Saint Hedwig. Whether laying down melodic guitar solos, tracking in the studio, or leading live sets, that experience taught me how to read a room, control dynamics, and deliver an authentic musical atmosphere.

Today, based in the Greater San Antonio area, I provide complete, self-contained live music entertainment tailored for private parties, corporate events, wineries, breweries, and community gatherings. By combining seasoned lead guitar work, acoustic roots, banjo, mandolin, and lap steel with rich, full-production backing arrangements, I deliver the expansive sound of a full band with the adaptable stage footprint and volume control of a solo artist.
