Missy was born in the middle of a tornado warning in West Texas and she’s been kickin’ up dust every since. Missy grew up in a house full of music. Her mother sings and plays the piano and her brothers play the guitar. She recalls her favorite thing to do as a child was sitting at the piano bench with her mom and sing.

Missy got her first taste of performing in “The Good Ship Lollipop” and “H.M.S. Pinafore”. She grew up listening to artist like Ann Murray, Kenny Rogers, Garth Brooks and the Judds. She has sung in numerous choral groups, including high school, college, state and regional choirs. Missy has played the piano her whole life and has added mandolin and bass to her repertoire since joining the Pie.

She has always been a fan of country, folk and acoustic music, but never knew how much she enjoyed bluegrass until she stumbled across Sweet Potato Pie in 2002. It took only two minutes of enjoying a “Pie” concert before she realized that she wanted to be a piece of it too! To make a long story short, the stars lined up for Missy and she’s been singing with Sweet Potato Pie ever since.

Missy has a smooth and rich voice, which has been described as the “sound of candy.” She’s a natural performer and loves to connect with the audience.

Missy is grateful to her parents and husband for their enthusiasm and support. She’s the mom of three little “Sweet Potaters”, likes to read and be outdoors.
