I began my professional music career in 1995 by joining Gospel group Phil Cross & Poet Voices of Chattanooga, TN. For five years, I toured with Poet Voices playing keyboards. After a brief hiatus from the road, joined Gold City in March of 2000. For the next six years, I toured extensively as Gold City's pianist. For a couple of years I was in a music ministry that included myself, former Gaither Vocal Band member Buddy Mullins, Buddy's wife Kerri, and former Sunday Drive and Martins member Paul Lancaster. This ministry was called Everyday Driven. God taught me so much during my time with these great people. The older I get, the more I realize that God uses the different seasons of our lives to prepare for us what's to come. I have learned to keep looking ahead...keep plowing forward while enjoying the present and living each day to its fullest. My experiences allow me to do so many things I enjoy. I go out and minister to people one on one in solo concerts. I also enjoy working in the studio with various artists, either producing or playing on their records. I want to reach people for the cause of Christ. And to get to them, I am using a powerful ministry resource...music. God has blessed me with the gift of music and the 'Ultimate Gift', His Son Jesus Christ. How can I not go and share that with the world? All I can say is that I'm loving life. I'm married to my best friend and the love of my life We have a beautiful daughter. God has blessed me so much and I am so grateful to Him.
