Hank was raised in a family that cherished music. His mother has always loved, and constantly listened to, music. His father sang in the Glee Club while in college at N.C. State and his grandmother sang in the Civic Chorus in Rocky Mount, N.C. Growing up in this environment only meant that it was pretty much inevitable that Hank, too, would grow to love music. Thank goodness the Lord saw fit to gift Hank with a beautiful voice with which to sing. Hank has been singing all of his life, beginning with performing in gospel and church choirs, junior high chorus, barbershop quartets and choruses, and many clubs and performance venues across America.
Hank has had the opportunity to sing in numerous ""honky tonks"". In fact, he's performed in ""far too many to name."" He's performed at several famous venues such as The Palomino in Los Angeles, California; Gilley's in Houston, Texas; and places closer to his Georgia home like Miss Kitty's in Marietta and Mama's Country Showcase in Atlanta. While performing at Mama's he also had the opportunity to be the opening act for many of country's top stars such as Joe Diffie, Tim McGraw, Billy Dean, Kenny Chesney, Shenandoah, Little Texas, Toby Keith, Tracy Byrd, Confederate Railroad, Chris Ledoux, and many others.

Hank's greatest musical influences include Willie Nelson, Garth Brooks, George Strait, Merle Haggard, and the Eagles. However, he loves all kinds of music - country, jazz, blues, old rock & roll, old-time gospel, 70's and 80's pop and he really enjoys the vocal harmonies of barbershop.

Hank is the owner of Hank of All Trades, Inc., which is a successful Atlanta based construction company. He is continually juggling the construction business with the chase for the ever - elusive dream of the ""record deal"". Hank is currently performing at a plethora of venues, across the country, showcasing his new patriotic tune, ""Thank You"", raising money to support the troops wounded while serving in Iraq and Afghanistan, and honoring veterans for their service in the past.
