After growing up in his hometown of Norborne, Missouri, he became a founding member of the popular Midwestern U.S. roots rock band The Rainmakers.

As the singer/songwriter of his most well-known band, The Rainmakers, from 1986 to 1996, his discography included five full-length studio albums, one live concert recording, and one "best-of" album.
