Played banjo and guitar in high school but then life took over and I shifted focus to marriage, career, and family. I started playing guitar in church bands around 1990, then, in 2011, I picked up a banjo again and found that all those years of playing finger-style guitar made learning Scruggs style a lot easier. It was downhill from there. I lead a jam at the Agricultural Heritage Museum in Boerne, TX (Boerne Pickers). Jam information can be found here: centraltexasbluegrass.org
