I’ve changed my focus often in my music career. I started out JUST wanting to be a guitarist, but every few years a new passion would gain my attention. While this was frustrating early on, now with years of experience and a broad range of skills, I feel fully formed.

I spent my formative years playing guitar and drums. Once arriving at Berklee College of Music, I started writing songs and studying production and engineering.

After returning to Atlanta, I spent several years playing with John Mayer, Sugarland, Marshall Tucker Band, Shawn Mullins and Y-O-U. While working with these artists, I began incorporating piano, Hammond B3, pedal steel, and mandolin into my bag of tricks. My time working with these artists was invaluable and further stoked the fire I have for this profession.

During that period I also worked in studios around town and eventually started my own: The Small Room.

This long and winding road built me to be the musician I am today, preparing me to become a member of the Zac Brown Band. I couldn’t ask more than to be a part of this group playing alongside my family night after night.

I believe being involved with this group brought all good things in my life. It’s challenged me as a musician, producer, engineer, and has also encouraged my personal growth. This group is built of family men, and it’s with this mentality I was lucky enough to find my wife and we built our own family.

Reflecting on my roots lead me to the opportunity of teaching Music Production Analysis at Berklee Online. While it’s a small sample size, I feel good about helping sculpt some of the next generation of music makers. It’s rewarding and has broadened my lens on music production.

The past few years have ushered me to recording remotely and mixing records for other artists… something that I really enjoy and have built a very good system for.
