I was born and raised
in Grand Rapids, MI. I was always into artistic
mediums as a kid. I think it was the memories of
my dad playing guitar when I was younger that had a
large part to do with me learning guitar. When I
was coming up on my 17th birthday I asked my mom for a
guitar. I got a cheap beginner's acoustic and I
loved it. For the first 3 or 4 weeks I played for
8 hours every day. Not long after I took a few
lessons but quit because the teacher couldn't keep up
with the progress I was making on my own. I taught
myself from then on...
Early in 2006 I started recording my first real songs
with my home computer. At the time I thought it
would be simply for my own listening but by early 2007 I
had an album's worth of music and then some so I decided
to put out my debut album, When Saints Sin...
And then I wrote this...
