About

When I play a song for you, I want to create an experience that sticks with you. I want to take you to a place in your mind where you feel accepted and understood in a unique way that you haven’t before. That’s what music does. It understands us. I think everyone needs a chance to feel understood.

I grew up in Blue Springs, Missouri, a medium sized city in the Kansas City area. From a young age, I have always been involved in music. My mom always had a passion for music and when I was nine years old she forced me to take piano lessons against my will – a decision that I will always love her for. I practiced piano for three years until one year my parents gave me a guitar for Christmas.

At the time, I was quite unimpressed by this gift and left it to collect dust in the darkness of my closet, until one day I removed the guitar from its dark, dusty home. As I pressed my fingertips against the strings something indescribable happened. I made a connection to the sounds that vibrated through the air. As my fingers danced across the fretboard, I felt something I had never felt before. I felt understood. For many years growing up, I had never felt as though I belonged anywhere, with anyone, or with anything, but at that moment I knew. I belonged with music.

I’ve been writing and performing ever since I first discovered music and its affect on me. I’ve released multiple albums, toured the Midwest, and have had countless beautiful connections because of music. When I play a song for you, I want to create an experience that sticks with you. I want to take you to a place in your mind where you feel accepted and understood in a unique way that you haven’t before. That’s what music does. It understands us. I think everyone needs a chance to feel understood.
