About Me	I was born in Nashville in 1966.At the age of 3,I was taken from Tn and moved to Idaho by my grandmother's deceit.I can't remember very much about that,except that I was very spoiled and we lived on a Cherokee Indian Reservation for a while.When my parents finally tracked us down,they brought me back to Tn.Growing up,I've always had music as my constant companion. Due to my dad's job,me and my family lived in many states for short periods of time,so there was no time to make good friends.Finally in 1980,after 32 schools(8 in the first grade),things started to settle down.I spent the remainder of my school years back in Nashville.I lived in Inglewood and attended Stratford High.By then,I had learned to play what I was listening to on the radio.I hooked up with a few close friends from school in 1982 and we had the pretty good rock and roll thing going on. After graduation in 1985, I moved to Kingston Springs,Tn.In1987,I joined the USNavy.I went to boot camp in Great Lakes Ill. After that,I was stationed in Cal.(I must say,It was pretty cool out there).After about a year of working on aircraft,I received an Honorable Discharge (under Medical Conditions).After that,I moved back to Tn and picked up the band where we left off.We did the whole Nashville circuit and had a few songs on the radio,but we really didn't strive for more than that. In 1990,I married my first wife.In 1992,we had my first son.That was one of the most high points of my life.In 1995,me and my wife divorced,because neither was willing to give in or change.In 1999,I had no control over my life,due to drinking,that I had to do something about it before I ended up dead or worse,So I moved to Salt Lake City,UT.(What kind of trouble can you get there,right?) to straighten my act up.The "Wild Side" caused me enough trouble,let alone in impact it had on my family and friends!(Idon't see how they put up the it.I couldn't have!)
