I grew up in the river city town of Covington, Kentucky (just accross the Ohio river from Cincinnatti where I was born). It seems that music has always exemplified my life. I learned to play guitar at nine, and then began performing in my family's band, at the age of ten. In the late seventies I headed out on my own forming, and fronting my own band, and toured nationally throughout the eighties and ninties, opening for acts such as, Merle Haggard, Kenny Price, Exile, Shania Twain, The Remingtons and Steve Wariner to name a few. I now live in southern California and spend my free time writing, and supporting various environmental issues.
