Making Memories

The Halloween Blizzard of ’91

Wrote this song for a friend going through stage four liver cancer. 

Bobby's song (Remastered)

Light the Fuse

Is there something in life that brings you back? Smells, music, locations.  

Back Roads and Bonfires

Statistical everyday 22 service members loose their lives to suicide. As a veteran this hits home. 

22 Lives in the Night

The story of two friends who have romantic feelings for each other, but never express them. And the consequences. 

Dressed Up Tonight

We Turned Out Fine

The Walking Cane

Raised by fire and gasoline (Remastered) (Remix)

One training mission as an infantry soldier was a 20+ mile ruck march through the California mountains. Giving up was never an option. 

Where pride doesn't quit.

My all time favorite car is the '69 charger. 

Redline Rendezvous

Most roads don’t start where the map says they do. They start in the moment you realize you’re tired of standing still. I’ve walked away from jobs, towns, and one or two catastrophes that were mostly my own creation. What I’ve learned is simple: you take the first step, and the rest of the road argues with you until it gives in.

I’m a retired soldier, proud to have served 20 years in uniform. Though I’m recognized as a disabled veteran due to severe back and neck injuries, I refuse to let that define my limits. These days, I drive a truck across the country—still moving forward, still working, still chasing purpose on the open road.

My mind never stops turning, and while I don’t keep a traditional journal, I’ve found my own way to process life: through music. Most of the songs I write are pulled straight from my own experiences. The rest come from the way I see the world—sometimes clear, sometimes cracked, but always honest. I’ll let you decide which is which.

I was married for 28 years before losing my wife unexpectedly. Her memory still travels with me on every mile. I have three grown children who remind me that strength comes in many forms. When I’m not working, you’ll find me on my Harley, exploring the backroads of Texas, chasing peace and a little bit of freedom.
