"I've always been a fan of country music, but it
was not until I first heard Luther Perkins pick, that I decided I wanted to be a picker, too. He was my main influence and inspiration, although Johnny Cash, Merle, Waylon, Willie, Carl Perkins and others also influenced my style of picking."

I began writing songs at a very early age and by
the age Of nineteen, was performing in Europe as well as in the United States.
I have been bandleader and manager for several
of my own bands as well as other artists from as far away as Canada.
