The release of his first studio album “On a String,” to a crowd of 400 at the Hawkin’s Amphitheater in the Fall of 2011, a spot on the list of the Reno Gazette Journal’s Top Albums of 2011, and an invitation to play at the annual Americana Music Festival in Virginia City in the Summer of 2012 highlight some of the songwriter’s most recent accomplishments.  Less
