What project(s) are you currently working on?

 Finishing an album in studio while releasing each of the 12 songs once a month. This is a very exciting project!

What inspired you to pursue a career in music and when did you know?

 I was inspired at 16, by my father who is also a songwriter. I didn’t decide to stand on stages and pursue the life of an artist until I was 42. My wife recommended that I give it a shot and see if it was what I wanted to do. She didn’t want me to resent myself for never trying.

If you weren’t pursuing a career in music, what would you be doing for a living?

I would probably be doing some random desk job punching in numbers and waiting for the clock to hit 5pm. Or possibly training dogs again.

What is your favorite downtime activity?

 In my downtime, I enjoy spending time with the family and traveling around Texas.

Who is your biggest celebrity crush?

 I honestly don’t have one.

Who is your favorite sports team(s)

The Chicago Bears

What is the last movie that you watched?

 Shotgun Wedding

What is the last album you listened to?

 Jaret Ray Reddick – Just Woke Up

If you could only listen to one album for the rest of your life, what would it be?

 Chris Ledoux – 20 Originals: The Early Years

What is the greatest country song of all time?

 Look At You Girl – Chris Ledoux (my wedding song)

What has been your favorite city/town that you’ve visited out on the road?

 Tin Cup, Colorado

What is your favorite meal?

 Chicken Florentine

Who is your dream duet partner?

 Lainey Wilson

Who would you like to go on tour with?

 Ned Ledoux

What is your ultimate career goal(s)?

 To complete a 50 state stadium tour. I think it would be awesome to see that many people digging my music!
