"Some musicians are gifted and others are talented but the greatest of those are the gifted because they are the ones that reach the hearts and souls of their listeners."

A little bit about me�

I'm a single dad of a 19-year-old daughter and mother who is actively serving in the United States Air Force just outside Adana, Turkey at Incirlik Air Force Base. Now with an emptynest and looking to begin a new chapter in my life as fulltime professional musician. I reside in Fort Mill, South Carolina located near the NC/SC stateline just below Charlotte, North Carolina.

I�d like to think I�m different from most men. I�m independent and rely on my own resources and will not wait on others to determine direction.

I�m easygoing, passionate, peaceful, sensitive, and a spirited type of guy with a lot of enthusiasm for good stimulating conversations and fun activities.


When not working I grille out, bowl, bicycle ride, walk, attend church activities, or spend quiet evenings on the sofa viewing videos or just simply relaxing to music following a delicious supper.


My Latest News:

I'm sure a few of my photos and title are a dead giveaway. Yes, I'm a guitarist. I enjoy performing countempory pop-country, classic r&b oldies, and beach music. For those of you that aren't familiar, it originated from r&b in the late 50's and 60's and has become popular on the coasts of the southeast from Virginia to Florida along with a dance called the "Shag" a modification of the dance called the "Swing".

List of recording artists that have influenced my performance style:

Chairman of the Board, Eight Day, Unifics, The Platters, The Intruders, Manhattans, O'Jays, Stairsteps, Mary Wells, Barbara and the Uniques, Fuzz, Wilson Pickett, King Curtis, Isley Brothers, Marvin Gaye, Dells, Clarence Carter, Bill Stewart, Curtis Mayfield, and Chilites, Larry Graham, Maceo, Sly and the Family Stone, Red Bone, Parliment-Funkadelic, Archie Bell and the Drells, and Kool and the Gang.



I'd love to hear from you so send me an email or a yahoo/msn instant message.
Best wishes,
