CEO of Rugged HQ
I’ve known TJ for years, but we really clicked when we discovered our shared love for country and Americana. When he told me he was starting a podcast, I was all in - no hesitation. This wasn’t just some side project... it felt like something special from the very start.
I’ve always been obsessed with classic country. George Jones and Charley Pride are up there as all-time greats for me - nobody comes close. But what I’ve come to love even more is digging into the independent scene and discovering the next wave of artists keeping that country soul alive.
Being part of The Rugged Revival has been a wild ride so far. We’ve met some incredible people, heard unforgettable stories, and seen the power of real music up close. I wouldn’t trade it for anything.
