DREAM GIG: Cinderella’s Castle stage in Walt Disney World. This is serious.

PETS: A dog named Presley (as in the King.)

TV ADDICTIONS: My favorite show used to be “Hoarders” until I discovered the show “Pet Hoarders” which is just like “Hoarders” except these people fill their houses with cats and chickens and such.

5 THINGS EVERY MAN SHOULD OWN: Leather boots, a Bear Grylls endorsed multi-tool, an acoustic guitar handed down by a Dad or Grandpa, a beard, a great story about how you broke your leg

CELEBRITY CRUSH: Angelina Jolie, but just so I could meet Brad Pitt. Then I would talk him into ditching her so we could hang out at the mall or catch a movie.

I NEVER LEAVE HOME WITHOUT: gas in my truck.

I WROTE THIS SONG: by myself in my basement about a year ago. The references to places and people are real here in Nashville.
