and you...I try to write music that comes from my life experience and hopefully connects with yours
Sounds Like
Music from the heart of a guy who's grateful for God's work in his life...
For my fellow Christ-followers, I want my music to make you think about the amazing God we serve and get you excited about doing your part to continue building His kingdom...

Saved by God's grace...I am a Christ follower above all else.
I'm also a regular guy (happily married with five sons) who loves to show people that music at church can be fun, loud, energetic, authentic, and enthusiastic. I'm talkin' guitars with the amps up to 11, thumping bass, and gut-rattling drums, but all for the purpose of helping people connect with the Living God who created them and wants to change their lives forever...
I'm currently waiting on God's instructions for my next assignment on this journey. I know my ministry will bless the socks off of some unsuspecting church body very soon. :)
**Update June 2009** Looks like God wants me to take a season of rest from vocational ministry, so I've taken a business job in downtown Indianapolis. I know that He will still use me mightily in ministry as a volunteer at a local church. I look forward to a fresh start and some time to heal from the wounds inflicted by "Church, Inc." over the past couple years.
A couple of my favorite books these days are "Wild At Heart" by John Eldredge and "Why Men Hate Going to Church" by David Murrow.
