Welcome everyone! Music, for me, has been a long journey, starting back home in Western Pennsylvania learning guitar and writing songs in my room, to performing in Pittsburgh and Johnstown, to my current path here as a singer-songwriter in Nashville. I've loved meeting all of you at gigs here in Music City and owe a lot to the owners of the venues where I play, as well as to the fans that come out to support local artists.  Many of you I've met at a show and I really appreciate it. I hope this page can give you a small glimpse into who I am, and into the new album that celebrates the spirit of everyone's "Hometown."

"Life in the Valley" is a track on this record that means a lot to me. A lot of my music is a reflection of where I'm from. My Grandpa was a former steel worker from Johnstown PA.  Like many from his generation, he didn't have the opportunities that I have been blessed with. My Grandma and Grandpa worked hard to take care of their large family. I believe that the work ethic and values of Western PA should be celebrated. ​That's a picture of my grandfather on the top left black and white photo -- a Polaroid of him working as a pattern maker in the mills of Johnstown, Pennsylvania. There is a lot of West Pa in this album, as well as other songs about people and places that shaped me.

Playing Bourbon Street Blues and Boogie Bar for three years and other venues around Nashville has helped me hone my performance skills in Music City. Residencies today include Bunganut Pig in Franklin, Flytes Brewery, and other weekly and monthly gigs - hope to see you at a show soon.

​Back in Washington, PA where I played my first concerts and where people gave me a chance to make music. The "crew" pictured below are some of my best and longest friends who always were there for me in the early days. My brother, Christian, who has played with me on drums for many years has helped me in more ways than I can count.

​I wouldn't be where I am today, and this album wouldn't be possible without the support of my dad.
