During a recruiting trip to Oklahoma State University, he decided to attend college there and play for the Cowboys.
One of his original songs, "Wide Open Places" was included on the soundtrack for the motion picture, Sing For Their Supper that goes to support Street Music Week in Spokane, Washington.
Benny McArthur, a longtime member of George Strait's Ace In The Hole Band produced the project.
Those songs are Down In Stillwater Oklahoma, Drinkin' Doubles, Have Another Beer, Running To Stay, and Starting Over Again.
Although the song did not climb as high as Down In Stillwater Oklahoma, it did hit the top 30, peaking at number 27 on the Texas Regional Radio Report chart and maintained a presence on the Texas Regional Radio Report chart for 25 weeks.
