I was born in a little town called Picayune, Mississippi in the deep south. Growing up I loved listening to Elvis Presley music and watching his movies. I never did develop the pipes needed for singing, so I took up the guitar instead. I’ve been playing lead guitar for about 25 years. My musical influences range from blues, country, and good ol’ rock and roll. I love them all. In my musical career thus far, I have been fortunate enough to tour the country with a professional band that opened for over 20 major label artists. These artists include Lee Roy Parnell, The Kentucky Headhunters, Leann Rimes, and Restless Heart to name just a few. The big stage and lights are very exciting. Geri Grubbs was the drummer for this band and he is like my brother. We have played many songs in many towns together.

I was introduced to praise and worship music at my church. We have a band at our church and I was asked to fill in for a little while. While getting use to the format, I fell in love with this style of music. The music spoke deeper to me than any other. After meeting Michael Clogher at church, I felt a desire to start a band with him in this vein of music. He and I are kindred spirits. I think of him as my brother. There is so much more meaning to this band and music than any other I have ever been associated with. Not only is it great Christian entertainment, but it also has a chance to really help folks. I am proud to be using my abilities for God.

When I don’t have my hands around a guitar, I like to go camping, four wheeler riding, watch movies, workout, vacation, or play golf. But, above all of this I love my wife and two children and relish spending time with them. Life seems to move at a dramatic pace these days, and you can never have enough time with your loved ones.

I accepted Jesus Christ as my Lord and Savior when I was a teenager in high school. I am so glad the Lord has blessed me with what little bit of talent I have so that I can use it to help further his Kingdom on earth. Our preacher said one Sunday, “when you get to Heaven is there going to be anybody there that you helped get there?” It hit me like a ton of bricks.
