My musical journey began on the streets of Blacksburg, VA at the start of my senior year at Virginia Tech.
I would set up with my acoustic guitar and 5W battery powered amplifer and play for an hour or so about once a month.
Good size crowds would gather around and tip me as I played. It was awesome to see that people were interested in
what I was creating. My spot in front of Moes at the corner of College Avenue will always be a special place to me.

My early street performances led to me headlining a halftime show at the Virginia Tech Men's Basketball game. This was my
first live performance on any kind of stage. So cool to hear my guitar play over the loud PA System and capitvate a large audience.
Also headlined a Virginia Tech Women's basketball game in December

First shot at a music venue came at Jammin' Java in my hometown Vienna, VA. I was given a 20 minute set to open up for Deanna Bogart and her band.
This was my first time playing a long set list and at an event solely for music. Great time making my Vienna debut.

I was given a slot to play at Virginia Tech's Relay for Life event. It was so amazing to be a part of a great cause. Very surreal experience being
able to play my guitar on the famous Drillfield in front of the iconic Burruss Hall. This was the coolest stage I have played on so far.
