Dennis first started playing guitar at the age of seven. His first guitar, was a $12.00 Sears acoustic special, a Christmas gift, purchased out of the Sears catalog, by his parents, when he was just 7 years old. This guitar and his dog, became his best friends. This guitar would eventually be destroyed, eaten and chewed up by his dog. This did not stop his love for playing guitar, he received another guitar and went on to study classical, jazz and rock with local players. Later on in life, he studied music & theology in Nashville, becoming part of a traveling troupe of musicians, playing to audiences throughout the south and Midwest. His wide range of interests included fund raising for anti- drug youth groups, playing concerts in College, prisons & hospitals.

He approaches each song or group of songs, as a visual idea. First he invents a character or situation and then designs songs around his characters & creations.
