He is anticipating the release of his upcoming full length album “Southern Pacific” on Santa Barbara Records.

In typical songwriter fashion he had to find odd jobs to stay afloat while chasing the dream. “I was selling honey on the side of the road during the day. It was the only job I could find where I could bring my guitar and write at the same time. “ He has performed over 1,500 concerts including opening spots for Andrew McMahon In The Wilderness. He has also opened for The White Buffalo, HAIM, ALO, Rocco Deluca, and Crowded House.
