About Me

I was born exactly 21 years after Ed Begley, Jr. When I was 8, my family moved to Virginia. When I was 12, I started taking guitar lessons. When I was 13, my dad bought our first computer - the first Apple Macintosh. When I was 17, I graduated from high school. When I was 18, I moved to Austin, TX. When I was 19, I moved back. When I was 19, I recorded my first “demo tape.” When I was still 19, I started playing music semi-professionally. When I was 20, I started using personal computers. When I was 25, I stopped touring. When I was 26, I stopped recording. When I was 27, I got married. When I was still 27, I got a job in the computer field (along with thousands of other frustrated musicians). When I was 29, I graduated from night school for computers. When I was 30, my oldest daughter was born. 4 months later, 9/11/01 happened. I flew from Boston Logan airport to Washington Dulles airport the evening of 9/10/2001 ... When I was 31, my next daughter was born. When I was 33, a great friend told me about Jesus Christ, and I listened. When I was 34, I was invited to join, and ultimately lead a praise band. When I was still 34, my youngest daughter was born. When I was 35, I got this here Myspace page. If you’re still reading this, you have too much free time on your hands! Hahaha. There's power in prayer! Be blessed.
