At age four, I woke up one Christmas morning with a tiny violin under the tree. Not knowing what to think or do with it at the time, it was just one of those things Mom wanted me to try out. So indeed, I tried it, taking lessons at a private school I attended in Santa Rosa, CA.

I started out playing classical violin, and about once a month there were contests at the school where I would play in front of all the teachers and students. I only lost one contest.

In my teenage years I drifted from the fiddle, becoming interested in racing dirt bikes and motocross. But then one day in the year 2002 I met a nice girl who had seen Poor Man's Whiskey. She grabbed one of their cards, and the rest, as they say, is history.
