More About Me
I am originally from southern West Virginia and now live in Johnson City TN with my lovely wife Amy a 4 boys Josiah, Ezekiel, Ezra & Malachi. I first learned banjo from my grandpa, who was the banjo player at my church growing up. I attended East Tennessee State University (ETSU) my first year of college and studied classical banjo and business at Concord University. I then completed a Master's Certificate in Appalachian Studies at ETSU.
I have toured internationally with the Abrams Brothers of Canada, my family Gospel band called Judah's Lion, the Darrell Webb band, Jonathan Buckner and Chosen Road and been a guest performer with Bill Keith, the Isaacs, Jesse McReynolds, Doyle Lawson, Mark O'Conner, Adam Steffey, Hunter Berry. I enjoy playing music with my friends at church and sharing music to edify the body of Christ.
I have won a few competitions, to the Glory of God, including the WV state three times, Merlefest, the Eastern US at 5-string fest, and the National Bluegrass Banjo Contest in Winfield, Kansas.
I have been teaching full time over 10 years and have been on the faculty at ETSU in the Bluegrass, Old Time & Country Music Program since 2010.
