For me, Music is about Encouragement and Empowerment

I was born in Fort Worth, Texas & grew up in a small town called Stephenville about 60 miles southwest of Dallas. My passion for music began at the early age, starting with instrumentation & then moving to vocalization when I was 15. During this time, the release of Soundgarden "Superunknown", Alice In Chains "Dirt" and Live "Throwing Copper" drew me in and never let me go. I enlisted in the US ARMY shortly after High School and Served 3 years at Ft. Hood, Texas before moving to the DFW Area and beginning my journey in Music. At the end of 2001 I formed my first band "Submersed" and shortly thereafter we were signed to Windup Records where we stayed for 5 years and 2 albums. After 2 years away from the game, I was contacted by Corey Lowery in October of 2009 about joining what would become "Eye Empire". It has been a crazy road but ALL has been for a reason & I am extremely grateful to have the opportunity to make music & impact people's lives through this incredible gift of sound. My Family is my Life & Motivation! I am blessed with the best of both worlds & understand how rare that is & appreciate it. Their love & support carry me everyday, I am nothing without them.
