My biography begins with me setting out on a long journey of discovery through many different roles, having many great experiences along the way.

Born in New York but grew up in Co Antrim, Northern Ireland during a time in Irish history referred to as the ‘troubles'.

I trained as a teacher and spent a great deal of my life in the classroom whilst always making inroads into the totally different world of country/acoustic rock music. Having got on a TV talent show in 1980 called Opportunity Knocks, the modern day equivalent of the X Factor doors began to open, and some closed while performing my show in England.

Returning to Ireland, in the nineties things politically had quietened considerably therefore creating the opportunity to play the bars in Belfast. Around that time I was signed to an up-and-coming record label and had a radio hit with a cover of the Ricky Skaggs song, "Don't Cheat In Our Home Town." We didn't stop until we hit Nashville, appearing on the ‘Grand Ole Opry' and Justin Tubb's ‘Midnight Jamboree'.

Two more albums followed with a signing to a fairly major player in the English music industry. Sales and major airplay were significant as my albums had both original material.

Not all good things last and due to other pressures the musical world diminished in size over the last 7 years. However, along came the idea for ‘Storm' a collection of songs epitomizing the harshness of life, and the fortunes of the characters who find themselves on the wrong side of the law.

So far the response has been mighty with the first single, ‘Ridin' out the Storm' charting a No. 6 in the Independent Radio Country Chart in the UK.

The journey has started, where will it end this time?
