I actually started to sing in my father’s band, Graffiti, when I was just four
years old. The first song I sang was “Blue Suede Shoes”. I was so nervous, at first, but when I started to sing,
everything just fell into place. I knew at that early of an age that I wanted to be an Elvis Tribute Artist. At one time I
was known as the youngest Elvis Tribute Artist in the state of Wisconsin. I continued to sing and play Bass guitar in various
bands until I joined the Marine Corps in 1989. Upon discharge from the Marines, I started playing and singing in a couple
of show-bands in the 1990s. In the year 2000, I started to add my Elvis tribute back into the shows. In 2005, Julie Deinlein
and I started the Elvis, Patsy Cline & Friends Tribute Show. I stride to perform a Tribute to Elvis with all the respect
and appreciation that Elvis deserves in our memories. At the shows, I have been repeatedly asked if I am lip-syncing. Those
are the greatest complements I've ever received. What do you say when people compare your voice to, in my opinion, the
greatest singer of all time? I feel privileged to be an Elvis Tribute Artist.
