In the 1990s, Alan began his professional career as a bluegrass mandolinist. He was a member of numerous prominent bands including After 5ive, Junior Sisk and Rambler's Choice, Mountain Heart, and IIIrd Tyme Out. Apart from his inspiring musicianship, he was a genius auto mechanic. After his music career, he worked as a mechanic throughout the Asheboro and Randolph County area where he could be close to family. Alan was the most generous, caring father, brother, son, and friend any person could wish for. The happiness of others was more important to him than his own; he brought joy to those around him with his witty humor and warm smile. He will forever be remembered.
