Favorite sport -

Anybody that knows me knows I’m not into any sports. I do like to go to games but don’t follow any teams or specific sport.

Favorite thing to do on your time off -

Surprise, Surprise I like to travel, shopping and going to see live music. I’m a traveling music junkie. My suitcase is always packed and if you called me I could be in the car and on the road in 15 minutes and could be gone for a month.

Favorite drink (alcoholic/non-alcoholic) -

Gentleman Jack straight up. Dr. Pepper

We know you don't play any instruments on stage, but do you know how to play any?

No, after almost seven years in this industry you would think I could at least play a song on the guitar.

On the rare occassion that you have some free time, is there any Texas artist/band that you try to get out to see?

Boy this is a tough one. To narrow it down to just one band and in Texas. I’ve had the privilege of touring from the left coast to the right coast I don’t know how many times and have done two major Canadian tours. I’ve gotten to meet a lot of interesting people and listen to all kinds of music.

Texas: John Evans, Jim Ward, Old 97’s, Charlie Robison, and Hayes Carll. My favorite venue in Texas would be Gruene Hall.

Outside of Texas: Social Distortion one of the best live shows I have ever seen. Ryan Bingham, Bobby Bare Jr. and Corb Lund & the Hurtin’ Albertans. Favorite venues outside of Texas: The Fillmore in San Francisco, CA. Toad’s Place in Richmond, VA. The Commodore Ballroom in Vancouver, BC.
