I was raised on a farm in Pennsylvania and come from a long line of musicians. My grandfather played in a traveling banjo/mandolin club in New Jersey. My grandmother was a concert pianist and my father was an accomplished guitar player and singer. I started playing in grade school and joined my first band at age 13. I performed with my father's band for several years traveling throughout the United States and Canada.

I have worked with many national artists from Wheeling, West Virginia & Nashville, Tennessee and have been writing my own music for many years. In keeping with the tradition of old school country music, many of my songs are stories of my life and my friends lives.
