I've been in the music industry for over 30 years. Along with a vast experience touring with huge stars like Luke Bryan, Steve Wariner and Tracy Byrd, I have been making records. Along with adding bass tracks to hundreds of songs, I mix records, everything from Rock, Country, Blues, Hip-Hop, R 'n B, and Gospel.
Making music is my life. I have played with some of the best artists of today and produced some incredible talent. I've been touring since 1998. My last venture was a 12 year stint with platinum superstar Luke Bryan. For the past 17 years I have also been engaged with producing and recording at my own studio, "Studio On The Ridge" just outside of music city, Nashville, TN. Whether its producing and mixing a band or artist or just playing bass on a record, I always have passion for anything I do. I would be happy to mix your project or lay down a bass track.

Endorse James "Captain" Cook
I have recorded over 100 songs with James...sometimes when he is producing and sometimes when I'm producing. James is the definition of a professional...personally and musically. Who people are tends to come out in their playing. That is why James is one of my first calls for tracking sessions here in Nashville and remote overdubs.
