Featured Song
I’ve been writing songs my whole life.
I hope you enjoy this sampling of my work.

I Got This
Weekend with my buddies, fishing on the lake
Watching water-skiers doing tricks
Buddies bet me fifty that I couldn’t jump the wake
So I signed the waiver, strapped on my lifesaver, and said
I got this, yeah I got this
But when I said I got this, it was not this
This fractured bone
This little too much much testosterone
When I said I got this, it was not this
Weekend with my buddies down in Mexico
Wound up late at night, some little dive
Flaming shots and red hot peppers laid out a row
Barkeep had them lined up, so of course I signed up, and said
I got this, yeah I got this
But when I said I got this, it was not this
This brain that’s fried
This snake tattoo on my backside
When I said I got this
It was not this
This much I hold as true
Sometimes you gotta stand up
But seems that when I do
When I’ve raise my hand up
Every time I’ve manned up, and said
I got this, yeah I got this
When I said I got this, it was not this
This Vegas run
This maybe had a little too much fun
This pounding head
This how’d she wind up in my bed
It’s all a blur
But what do you mean I married her?
When I said I got this, it ws not this
No it was definitely not--not this
