    First Day of Marching Band
    The was the first day of marching band. This day is important because it laid the foundation on what my life was going to be all about. That was music.
  • First Day of High School

    First Day of High School
    This was my first day of High School. I was nervous and excited to become an Etowah Eagle. I had no idea what the furture was in store for me.
  • Started playing Guitar

    Started playing Guitar
    This was when I first got my Breedlove guitar. I wanted to play another instrument besides my french horn. I was suggested to play the guitar by my dad and so I started to learn how to play guitar off of youtube and that was the start of how I started to play guitar. Little did I know that it would be so much fun and that learning the guitar would mold my life into something that is now a very big part of me.
  • Started My Rock Band "Vitality"

    Started My Rock Band "Vitality"
    This is the first band picture that Chadd, Carter and I took. I wanted to start a band after I heard artists like Sublime and Green Day. This band became as much a part of me as I was a part of it. I find so much joy in making music and performing it that I continued making music up to even today. This a milestone for me because this really showed me what I really love to do most.
  • Trip to California

    Trip to California
    This was my favorite trip up to this point. I experianced many cool things and I learned a lot about myself and the cities too. As a family I say we bonded more on this trip than any time or vacation that we had ever been on. I learned from this trip how much I loved my family. This picture is a picture of my dad and I right before we went surfing at Huntington Beach, California.
  • Went to the studio for the first time

    Went to the studio for the first time
    This was a great experiance to me. I recorded my music at Lucky Dog Studios. Even though we did not come out with a final product, my band and I learned some very important information on what it takes to record music at a recording studio.
  • Played at the Masquerade

    Played at the Masquerade
    This was the biggest concert my band and I had every played. My band and I played at the Masquerade in Atlanta.There were roughly around 150-200 people listening to my music. It was a great experiance to play on the same stage that hundreds of other well known artists have played at (Ex. Nirvana) This was a big step for myself and my band for our musical careers.

  • The Shrek Musical

    The Shrek Musical
    I played donkey in the High School Musical Shrek. It was a lot of fun for me and it really showcased not only my singing talents but my acting talents as well! This was the first time I had ever been in any kind of acting role in a major production. When I was a kid all i wanted to do was be an actor and now I finally became one.
  • Visited Hawaii

    Visited Hawaii
    This was actually my second time visiting Hawaii and it was actually better this time than the first! I went with the Etowah band to Honollulu. Visiting there has made me realize that the Hawaiian style of living is the life style for me. I find myself happier there than anywhere else I have ever been too.
  • Won the Talent Show

    Won the Talent Show
    I have been in the talent show every year in my high school career and this time was the first time that I won! I performed too songs with my band Vitality and every year my band and I have been getting better, It was a great way to close out the year by winning $100 for my songs. It gives me hope about my future in music.
