I have being playing music most of my life. I started playing guitar at the age of 9 and then fiddle/violin and then mandolin. I have been teaching for the last 12 years. I obtained my degree in 1998 from Southeast Oklahoma State University.
I currently live in Mckinney, Tx and teach private fiddle lessons in the Mckinney area. My expertise is in good ol' fiddle music - Texas fiddle, bluegrass fiddle, gospel, and country bandstand fiddle and anything else that strikes me as interesting and fun to play.
Through the last 25 years of fiddling I have had the opportunity to play with many talented artists such as Hank Thompson, Stephen Pride, Noel Haggard, Jolie Holiday, Jason Horne, Mike Oneil, Oliver Moatt, Marcus Lindsey, David Lemmons, Quincy Rose, Tommy Nixon, Alan and Miller Band, Scott Cowan, Mitchell Smithey, David Alexander, Billy Braddy, The Saturday Night Shin-dig Band, Billy Keeble, Landon Dodd, Travis Andrews, Loren Johnson, Cadillac Cowboys, The Rowdy Country Band, Grayson County Line, Chuck Jennings, and many others. I have opened shows for Mark Chestnut, Mike Schneider, Larry Cordell, Moe Bandy, Gene Watson, Blue Highway, Wade Bowen, Pat Green, Johnny Rodriguez, Ed Burleson, Darryl Dodd, and many others as well. I have performed throughout the western United States but primarily in the tri-state area of Texas, Oklahoma, and Arkansas.
