When Donnie first came to Branson in August of 1982, he worked at Banjo's Dinner Theatre as the sound and light technician. He left in 1983 to play guitar with the Lowe Family. When that season ended, the lead guitar position at Banjo's became available and he came back to play with them until the show ended in August of that year.

It was here that Donnie met Don Reed (not pictured here) who plays steel guitar for the Presley's Jubilee these days. Don introduced Donnie to Cross Roads Church (which is now Cross Roads International Revival Center) and the late Bro. Gary J. Guinn. "Both Bro. Don and Bro. Gary have been influential men in my life. I have always considered Don Reed as one of my closest friends. So much so, I asked him to be Best Man at my wedding." says Donnie.
