ABOUT

I'm an artist, musician, and teacher. I spent years living in the Dallas area fronting bands and performing on guitar, bass, and drums all over the south. I have a music minor from Lamar on percussion, but mostly perform on guitar these days. I play solo/duo shows and also band gigs with Barstool Ministry. I do a lot of songwriting and am wanting to put together a Rockabilly/Psychobilly type group in the vein of the Reverend Horton Heat doing a mix of originals and covers.
