Though I'm an artist and a writer, music is my true love. I've been making noise for a long time, starting way back in the mid-1970's when I used to steal my step-brother's acoustic guitar and play it until my fingers bled. I played in various bands through the years for decades around my hometown of Kings Mountain, NC, but in 2007 I moved to Saint Petersburg, Florida, where I live to this day. At the moment, I'm playing with two bands, Systematic Chaos and The Just In Time Band, both based here in the Tampa Bay area. I'm still working on my original music (I have over 400 songs now), and am working up an original acoustic solo show.
