BIO
This bio is probably not like what you would expect. With little musical training, no notable accomplishments, and no fancy awards, maybe I should focus this bio on my lifelong passion for writing songs. That passion was in its infancy during my high school years but began to grow after graduation when I was away in England and Sweden. Through music, I found a way for this shy, quiet, and unassuming Florida boy to express himself through songs when my own words often failed.
Not long after finishing my formal education, life became more complicated and progressed into endless workdays and newfound family responsibilities. Still, whenever there was a chance, I found satisfaction and a sense of accomplishment by combining just the right words to a melody that would not leave me alone. I sometimes felt like a gold miner who occasionally picked a nugget off the ground, but more often had to slowly dig words and music buried in unknown hiding places. Many times, it was not easy, and years would pass before my efforts were rewarded and a song was completed. Years turned into decades, but eventually, I found a way to express my deepest feelings and thoughts through a collection of songs I had dug out of the ground.
I’ve often wondered if given the chance to speak to thousands, tens of thousands, or even millions of people, what would I say? Most likely, words would fail me again. But through the songs I write, I’ve found a way to reach into my inner thoughts and feelings and bring together words and music to say everything that I want to say--songs that speak of love, encouragement, and faith that can bring comfort to the soul and cheer the downhearted.
My songs are my story, my bio. Listen to them, and they will tell everything about me that there is to know. I will always continue my passion for writing songs. When things are good or things or bad, even in the darkest hours, I can find the light through my music, one of God's greatest gifts.
