What is music’s significance to you? My favorite part about singing is bringing people together. Singing is a therapy and a connection to the spiritual realm for me.
How do you keep music in your life with a career like trucking? We are a part of the musical community in central Alabama. We open our home up to host musical events as well as practice for my band. We are currently building a stage to host musical festivals on a larger scale.
What’s your daily haul like? Regional/over the road, tanker. Leave out early Monday morning and return on Thursday afternoon.


The Trucker Talent Search culminates with a live contest featuring three finalists. The first-place winner receives a professional recording session. The contest will be emceed by Tony Justice, who will also perform during the event.
