As one of the two lead singers of Scarlett Oasis (and the occasional random percussionist) he is very excited to be performing again after a long 10 year hiatus! He is one of the two original members of the band left and has been happy to perform for many different types of crowds playing all sorts of different types of music! His biggest support group is definitely his wife Kiana and of course the biggest fan of the band and unofficial member his son Jayden.
