     I was born on June 20, 1963 in Oakdale Louisiana where I was the youngest of six children. I grew up in a musical environment. From an early age I can remember always carrying a pair of drum sticks around. I played in the Oakdale marching band for 5 years. After graduation I played with the band Flasher and also Amitee. Brian, Herbert and I first played together with the band Country Connection. In my music experience I have also set in on a recording session with zydeco star Jo Jo Reed. I am now the drummer for the Bayou Katz.
