About Me

I have worked in the music business in Nashville for over 19 years, with promotion & marketing adventures at MCA Records, Rounder Records, All Access Music Group, Midas Records and have represented a variety of other music related companies. I currently do freelance artist development and music marketing/promotion and also do artist marketing for World Vision in the country music format.  I have additional experience in management, A&R, production and spent six years in radio before moving to Nashville.

I love working with artists and the music community.  Some of the recording artists I have worked directly with or for:  George Strait, Reba McEntire, Vince Gill, Alison Krauss, Trisha Yearwood, Marty Stuart, Lee Ann Womack, Emerson Drive, Wynonna, Gary Allan, Amy Grant, The Mavericks, Sons Of The Desert, Adam Gregory, Mark Chesnutt, Rhonda Vincent, Olivia Newton John, Dan Tyminski, Whiskey Falls, Tracy Byrd,  Rodney Crowell, George Jones, Jamie O’Neal, Jerry Douglas, and others.

I am originally from a small town outside of Tulsa, Oklahoma.  I’m married to the fabulous Amy and we have a nine year old daughter.

I’m also an avid photographer, which provides an enjoyable creative diversion.

Thank you for visiting!

    I am on the Board of the Adamson Alumni Association of Adamson High School (formerly Oak Cliff High School). My deceased uncle was a classmate of Young’s and I have several copies of the 1927 Oak Cliff High yearbook with a photo of Young and a little more detail of activities in which he was involved. Email me or call me at (972) 699-1392 if you are interested in the yearbook.
