My original instrumental music has appeared in movie soundtracks, PBS shows, MTV reality shows and X Games, corporate commercials and over a dozen globally distributed instrumental music compilations. After growing up in Missouri, I followed my muse and jobs and migrated to MS, TX and NC and landed in TN; a wonderful journey that also allowed me to absorb some of the richest musical heritage in the world.
