After playing music in the Army, I worked for Louise Mandrell for many years on the road, in her theater and appeared on national TV with artists like Linda Davis, Terri Clark, Chrystal Gayle, Janie Fricke and others. These experiences have made me the player I am today.

Why do you choose Vic Firth?
I'm totally in love in the black paint finish. Paint seems to feel so consistent night after night and the look just really turns me on.
