About
First of all, I thank God, for opening the door and prompting you, to view my listing. I've been involved, with music, over 40 years, including years of experience playing, singing, working and gigging, with top rated, local and regional acts.
I received a vocal scholarshop, from East Texas State University. I was a member of the East Texas State Chorale. I attended Trinity High School, and was the section leader, in two Trinity High School Sweepstakes Choirs and Mixed Ensebles.
Student's lessons are provided, in a professional and hospitable atmosphere, at Tony's Muzik. I am willing, to travel and do home lessons, under certain situations or circumstances.
There is a nicely equipped recording studio being installed, on site, to provide artist development, for those seeking help, to pursue their musical dreams. I am proud to have helped and been associated, with Bad Puddy Recoding Studio owned, by my friend and former student Kyle Tankersly.
I've written, recorded, and produced, solo albums, as well as, cowritten, collaborated, and produced several group projects. I've mentored young bands and trained a plethora of musicians, with the goal, of helping each student reach their musical aspirations.
Lessons are tailored, for each individual student. I care, for everyone, in our musical family, who walks, through the door.
I am determined, to have a positive impact and inspire each student. I work diligently, to help develop a deep musical passion, in any student who gives me the honor, to teach them.
I've taught hundreds of students, since I've been associated, with Tony's Muzik, who has been a pillar, in the NE Tarrant County Music Community, for decades.

BAND HISTORY
Throughout the 90s and into 2000 my longest working band, Those Guys, was featured, in and won, two of Linda Hollar's Harder Beat Magazine Showcases. The Harder Beat Magazine also honored and recognized me, as Promoter Of The Year, for two years, in a row.
My "Those Guys" band was featured, on Bob Foster's Music Hour, which was shown, on Fort Worth's Local TV Cable Channel 41.
The Fort Worth Star Telegram also did a feature article on the band.
Those Guys performed, at some radio sponsored events. One show was, for Q102's Redbeard's "Bringing in the Weekend Party", opening, for Andy Timmons, at the Lone Star Country Club, in Coppell.
"Those Guys" were invited, to do another performance, for Q102's Halloween event, Friday Night's "Fright Night Rockfest", in front of Planet Hollywood, located, in the Dallas West End.
In the 80's I worked, for Capitol Records, managing a Mr. Music Retail Record Store, located in the Galvez Mall, in Galveston Texas. During my time, with Capitol Records, I was honored, to report record sales & trends, for Billboard Magazine, before relocating back home, to DFW, in 1985.
I've always been, in music, one way or another, I suppose because music has always been, in me. Thanks again, for your time and interest, if you went the extra mile read this far. I hope you gained a little more insight, about me.
It's not work if you love what you're doing. I love sharing the gift of music.
