I grew up in the once small town of Bradenton, Fl. Dad played the ukulele, Mom knew all the words, the whole family sang great gospel songs. Music has always been in my DNA.    

School years were full of practicing piano, clarinet, playing in orchestras, jazz bands and accompanying choirs. After school I embraced a tough, hot, blue collar family business with my Dad. Music was always present: rehearsing the best band ever, hosting house concerts, and writing numerous songs behind the wheel of a big rig. In 2008 I traded in the Semi for a piano and have been performing  full time since.
