Born: During Winter, deep in the heart of Texas

Military: United States Marine Corps *Member Arkansas Arts Council Service: 4 yrs.- Honorable Discharge "Arts on Tour" Since 2000
My performance experience is very extensive and very versatile. Beginning at age 13 and continuing until high school graduation. I performed in and around North Central TX for school functions, private parties, civic gatherings and church activities.
Immediately following graduation I began an intense relationship with the military. After a four year stint which included Vietnam, Taiwan, Japan, Philippines and Okinawa, becoming a trusted shell-back in 1972. I was honorably discharged from the Marine Corps in Southern CA.
After performing in the Enlisted and NCO Clubs on military bases, as well as a variety of establishments in the little villas and towns of numerous foreign countries, the coffeehouses and clubs of Southern CA came as quite a culture shock. The college campuses and small concert scenes enriched my educational career which has been ongoing and ever-changing, helping to hone my stage presence and expand my base for my songwriting and storytelling.
My travels have taken me from CA to CT, all across the middle of the United States, finally coming full circle into Northwest Arkansas by the late 80's. I continue to endeavor to make a difference in the lives of those attentive individuals in my audience.
During my career, I have performed for small groups and for the masses. Although I continue to travel and perform at variety of events, such as clubs, fraternity/sorority parties, weddings, business after hours functions, private parties and such - the children's presentations have become my life blood and my life's work. "Cowtails and Little Red Wagon Trails" , "Traildrive Stew" are two recordings dedicated to children's ability to learn and have fun through music.
MISSION STATEMENT
BUILDING TOMORROW'S VALUES ON THE HISTORY OF YESTERDAY
1. To "Educate" children of all ages with an interactive performance which is upbeat, fun and factually based on cowboy history of life on the trail and at home on the ranch.
2. To "Enrich" the lives of children with examples of the cowboy view of honor, self respect, integrity and honesty.
3. To concentrate on the special needs of the audience through song and story. To "Inspire" children to become who they want to be by being who they really are.
4. To "Encourage" children to learn more about history. How it has and will affect our everyday lives, and to remember the basic values that were the Old West.
