My experience as a songwriter was somewhat limited before I moved to Nashville from my native Saint Louis, Missouri; I had been in groups before and done some limited songwriting, but nothing on the scale of what I do now.  I have been fortunate to work with some eclectic, powerful individuals who draw so much of themselves on the songwriter's canvas, and I have taken all of their experiences to heart as I write my own story through this music.

My greatest efforts so far have been with the group Ellvee, fronted by my dearest friend and  prolific songwriter Lauren Vessio.  I have been so lucky to work with such a genuine talent, and the experience has deeply affected how I approach my own work.  Lauren and I's collaborative efforts are some of the best music I've ever worked on in my life, and I look forward to the amazing songs we create in the future.

I have also been fortunate to work with exceptionally talented songwriters such as Ashley Norton, Meredith Blis, and Grant Reiff.  Through our combined experiences, I have gained the confidence I needed to become a better performer and songwriter.

I am a bassist by trade, and I am always looking for new things to work on; new songs to create, share, and be a part of.  Feel free to contact me if you would like to play together sometime.
