Artist History I was born the youngest of four children in Chattanooga, and brought up in nearby Cleveland. Thanks to a music-loving family, especially my mother (Most Talented, Tyner H.S., 19__), I learned to love music at church, at home, and in the car via the radio and the 8-track player. Studied Architecture for 2 years at UT, Knoxville, before changing majors to graduate in 1987 with a B.S. degree in Communications. My education is ongoing, though informal; since Broadcasting was my major, I consider watching TV "post-graduate work." After various ventures in such far-flung locations as Hawaii and Oregon, I returned to reclaim Chattanooga as home, and as my base of operations for pursuits in music, graphic design, and real life.

Instruments guitar, vocals, the occasional egg-shaker.
