This rock and roller was born and raised in Detroit, Michigan. At the age of 17, he split Detroit and headed to Dallas, Texas.

Tex has been here and there until he got his big break in Ft. Worth, Texas where he met up with CHEEP TRICK. He jammed with them for awhile, and then met up with the band CRAZY PUPPY. CRAZY PUPPY lasted about two years. He then tried it on his own, but it didn't quite work out. Then the MANDY SCOTT BAND called and it has been heaven.But on July 27th 2009, the Mandy Scott band is no more. But the core of the group has reformed and the new bands name is GOT NO STINKING BADGES.
