bio

I hope you'll take a minute to learn a little about who I am. I'm 40 years old and originally from Memphis, Tennessee. In the early 90's I spent many hours working in area studios learning the art of recording. I began in a friend's small 8 track reel-to-reel project studio, interned at a state of the art studio on world famous Beale Street, and eventually worked as a writer, engineer, and producer with a partner at our own studio. Through word of mouth, I attracted several customers; vocalists and lyricists who came to me needing lyrics or music. In addition to supporting local artists, we also wrote music to pitch to national artists and record labels. We worked in that studio for about four years. During this time I had also begun working as a DJ at a small local radio station, where, in addition to my on air responsibilities, I learned to produce commercials and write copy. 

Fast forward to 2000. No longer working in music due to the constraints of "adulthood", I had completed college and begun working for a large corporation. In late 2000, we learned the Memphis office was slated to be closed within a year, but there was a position opening in Northwest Arkansas supporting one of our large retail accounts. I was offered that position, and in July of 2001 my wife and I moved to Bentonville. The region is beautiful and the people are wonderful.

After spending the first year getting settled and deciding we weren't going anywhere, I decided it was time to get back into voice work, writing, and music. I thank God for the path that led me to this place. Thanks for reading.
