"I'll tell you who I am. I'm a kid from the countryside of Illinois who saw something in rock 'n roll music, or I should say felt something in rock 'n roll music, that I've been chasing ever since. It's led me to some pretty incredible places, and into the lives of some pretty amazing people. As a musician/songwriter/performer/person I'm hoping to carry on that wild, uninhabited spirit that the true rock 'n roll bands stood for. It's that ability to conquer things most people would be too afraid or insecure to ever attempt. It's taking the chance...and being satisfied with whatever the outcome is."
