I grew up on a farm in southern Frederick County, in a small town called Ijamsville, Maryland.

I continued singing in school chorus, including solos during concerts. I was selected several times to the All County Chorus, and sang leading roles in several school productions. As time went on and life happened, I was taken in a different direction from music. For most of my life I played some type of baseball starting out in little league, through high school and ending up in professional baseball. Then I joined the Army where I traveled around the United States playing All Army Softball. After my softball career, I decided to try my hand in drag racing.
