I was born and raised in a ranching family in Colorado. I grew up playing cowboy as often as possible. My family was always involved in music, with my grandfather playing guitar and singing. My mother was a singer and my grandmother was a singer and a bass player as well. I didn't jump right into music, however. I took my time and attempted a professional Rodeo career, which I probably clung to longer than I should have. Until my early 20s, I had never even played guitar. I started learning how to play and write songs, and it turned out, I had kind of a knack for it. I moved to Nashville in 2010 and decided that it wasn't for me. So I moved back home to Colorado and continued writing and playing songs as well as rodeoing. In 2017, I was honored to be awarded the Rocky Mountain Country Music Association's New Artist of the Year award. In 2018, I was again humbled to receive the Rocky Mountain Country Music Association songwriter of the year award. I've gotten many blessed opportunities to open for many great acts, including Ned LeDoux, Tracy Byrd, Chancey Williams, Josh Abbott, Aaron Watson, and many, many more. I like to think that I'm a good cross between country and western music, as well as classic and 90s country. I enjoy entertaining, and hopefully, everybody enjoys my particular brand of entertainment.
