While in college he was involved with the ETSU Bluegrass, Old Time, and Country Music program where honed his songwriting and guitar skills as he played in bands featuring top notch talent from all over the world.

This album produced a hit single, "Candle On A Cupcake", which also was made into a professionally produced music video which can be viewed on his various websites.
