Bio

I was born December 31st, 1991 in Saginaw, Michigan. I grew up for the first 13 years of my life in a small farming community in the Saginaw river valley. I lived, worshiped and attended school in St.Charles, Michigan. Life was pretty simple. I lived for my go-cart, shooting guns, playing with my dog and working on old cars in the garage with my Grandpa. I'd been an Elvis fan since I was about 6 or 7 years old. My interest in Elvis came when my Grandparents acquired the internet. I had been listening to an internet 50's radio station when the Elvis song "Hound Dog" came on. That was it for me right there. I was hooked. I started buying CDs and movies whenever I could and watched them in any spare time I had. When I was 13 years old and in the 7th grade I, like Elvis, moved North. Elvis moved from Tupelo, Mississippi to Memphis, Tennessee. I moved from St.Charles to Bellaire, Michigan. The doors of opportunity were soon to be opened for me there in my new found home place. I found myself to be the new kid in school, or as my Mom put it;"The Fresh Prince of Bellaire."

My performing at first only consisted of singing at family parties and when family and friends would get together. It wasn't until the late summer of 2008 that I started performing for the public. Since then I've played in many military clubs around Traverse City, done benefit shows for many causes in my area, played in restaurants and bars across the state, and am just now getting into the world of Elvis festivals and competitions. It's been a wild and fun ride, and I fully intend on riding the wave while I can hold on to it. I feel very fortunate and blessed that I have been given my talent. I am surrounded by so many wonderful people who have helped me get to where I am today.
