When I was 5 years old, I decided that I wanted to play fiddle. I started taking lessons and soon got involved with the Texas-style Fiddle Contests. After winning the Texas State Jr Champion, the National Jr. Jr. Champion, and the World Jr. Champion, i was hooked! My family and I also got involved with a group in the Fort Worth stockyards called Cowtown Opry, with Devon Dawson and Janet McBride. Within that group, I learned to improvise, play mandolin, and sing vocals/harmonies. As I got older, especially once I got to college, I started experimenting with jazz and found a true love in Stephane Grappelli.

I use an Eden bass amp.
