About Me

Man, why don't I get all that cool myspace sidebar stuff just because I have a music account? :P Anyway, yeah... about me. I'm a teacher (job) and "leader" of a worship band (hobby) and when I'm not busy writing music for those two outlets, I'll occasionally do something original and post it here. ;)

I can't afford to buy studio time or hire session musicians so everything above was made by me all by my lonesome with a computer and some soundfonts. Maybe one of these days I'll be able to move up to real recordings (please God...)

Send me a comment/request/whatever if you like anything here.

Rather feel pain than nothing at all...

You know you are Lifeteen if...

...you play "Sing Of Your Mercy" by Jars of Clay during a Lenten service and skip the Alleluia chorus.
