I was born in California and moved to Nashville in April 2005. I was a manager (volunteer position) for West Coast Songwriters for 3 years. I also worked for a film and television publisher.

I have been writing for over 10 years and have 5 single song contracts. In February, I won the Nashville to Belfast Love Song Contest and won a trip to Ireland to perform my song at the Belfast Music Festival. In March 2006, my song won the ?Single Song Showdown? at NSAI Symposium.

I currently have one song on hold at Adobe Road Records and several more songs at 3 major labels in Nashville.
