born in Chicago raised just south of St. Louis. Been living in Tennessee since 1997. I've done many things to make a living primarily playing music. Fiddle is my main instrument but I also play guitar, bass, harmonica, mandolin. these days I play in a couple classic country shows with Jason Petty. I also work at an addiction recovery facility to make ends meet. I do have a couple fiddle students as well as fix and set up string instruments. I've kept my occupations simple. I have been married a couple times. I have a grown son(married in St Louis and a seven year old daughter that hangs with me about a third of the time. I live out in Hickman county Tennessee where it is beautiful and quiet. I would love to hang out with a woman that has an open mind as to what is "normal" ha.
