Jimmy has always had music in his life. His earliest memories are of sitting in front of the family record player, listening to his mother's Elvis Presley records. As he grew, his influences in music grew.

Being introduced to the blues through his fascination with Eric Clapton, Jimmy began listening to old blues recordings by the masters: Robert Johnson, Muddy Waters, and countless other blues artist played major roles in his genesis into rock music. It would be his freshmen year at Lackey High School that would cement Jimmy's musical path.

Under the wing of jazz band director John Boyd, Jimmy honed his skill as a musician and performer on the piano, while teaching himself guitar at home, playing along with his favorite recordings.   

The year 2000 also brought Jimmy's discovery of Led Zeppelin, the searing 70's rock band that incorporated many styles in to his original music, and would influence his philosophy on music greatly. 

Jimmy met Susie and Andy in 2006 when Broken Stigma and Moose performed at Chrome for Critters festival at the Bowie Baysox stadium. Then at the ARDS ride, at Harley Davidson in Hughesville, MD, half of Moose performed with half of Broken Stigma, so the act became “Broken Moose”. 

Now we have acquired Jimmy as our new Moose lead guitarist and the sky is open wide  for Madd Mother Moose.
