Grew up in Lynchburg VA with a love for them Blue Ridge Mountains and the James River. Moved to Wilmington NC 1985 and met an awesome beautiful woman who is my wife of 24 years and have 2 wonderful sons. I became a salty dog with a deep love and respect for the sea and all its amazing creatures. Fish, Surf, Scuba Dive/Spearfish down to 130' deep anywhere 1-45 miles offshore of Wrightsville beach. Ive been playing mandolin 12 years and guitar almost 20. I love to play bluegrass music, it just comes natural. I am blessed to play with some of the finest musicians in SE North Carolina.
