I am here for Friends and Networking

About Me

Simple and straightforward:A lover of God,His Word,His Spirit and His People.Father of two,husband of one.Very interested in theology and biblical doctrine.I embrace  opportunities to defend my faith,because it keeps me SPIRITUALLY SHARP.I love many different types of music(sorry,religious people),but I particularly love praise and worship,because it affords me the privilege to give my gift directly back to God.Drumming fits my personality,as I am a supportive person by nature.So...before you get the dessert,you get the meal(all my fellow pocket players know what I'm talking about!)
