I started singing at the age of 8 in a little country Baptist church in Calhoun, GA.  At the age of 10 I started performing in chorus and show choir in school and by the time I was in middle school I was impersonating Elvis.  I continued to perform through the 8th grade and joined the chorus in high school.  At the age of 16, I started taking banjo lessons and at 17 I learned how to play the guitar.

It was in the high school chorus program that I met Jamie Burns and we discovered we had the same dreams about performing and we decided to form our first band, "Country Guns."  "Country Guns" soon became "Southern Limits Band" and the rest, as they say, is history.
