I grew up in a little community called Tabor, Texas. Its just north of the home of the Fighting Texas Aggies, College Station! I was a country kid, and as a child I spent most of my time horseback or bare foot running around Tabor. My mother worked for A&M and my father was an ex surfer/bull rider, that became a truck driver by trade. By the time I was 8 or 9 my older sister was a d.j. and editor for a radio magazine. Through her baby sitting me at her work, and taking me with her to interview up and coming country musicians, (many of which are now veterans of country music) my musical influence began to grow. As a teenager, I got into rodeo, and rode bulls professionally until just after the birth of my child. Injuries had gotten me to the point that I couldn't ride anymore, and music found me again. But, as an end note, I do have to say, riding bulls was a hell of a lot easier!

Influences
My greatest influence....wow. I have had tons of influences that have shaped my love of music. I guess, first off, I have always been a die hard George Strait fan and more recently, a Kenny Chesney fan. I never really loved any other stars other than those guys. I grew up listening to everything, blue grass, 50s, 60s, 70s, 80s music. I guess my greatest influences have been my wife and kids. It was them that took me from singing each of them to sleep every night to singing on the stage. They believed in me. That's an influence we all should have.
