Raised the son of a Baptist Minister, he grew up in church playing piano and writing Christian songs that were published by various publishing companies.

Next stop was a permanent return to Nashville to work with CBS Songs and famed Kenny Rogers producer, Larry Butler. From there Bud formed his own companies which have grown to include music publishing, radio station ownership (in Arkansas & Texas) and a full service jingle production company. Past music credits include 4 number one songs (2 as a writer, 2 as a publisher) numerous top 10 and top 20 records and over 28 million in record sales.
