About Me

The Creator of all that exists loves me, and that is the most amazing thing that I can try to wrap my mind around.He has graciously blessed my life with the 2 most amazing people in the world: Kristie and Savannah (My wife and daughter)! My words about them fall so short of all that they are to me. I thank God for them both everyday, and will strive to be the best husband and daddy I can possibly be!In His creative Image, God has given me the ability to create music. My hope and desire is that we can all somehow see Him and His relentless love for us through that music.My musical journey has included the following adventures: making music with my family in the Terry Mike Jeffrey Band, creating with 2 of the finest musicians I know in the group Rio Corrientes, working regularly with the Memphis Symphony Orchestra, Jackson Symphony Orchestra, and Paducah Symphony Orchestra, playing saxophone for the traveling musical "Cathy Rigby is Peter Pan", and even the great privilege of working with legendary musicians such as Boots Randolph and Rock and Roll Hall of Fame guitarist James Burton. Most recently, I am grateful for the privilege of playing percussion with legendary drummer and "Modern Drummer Magazine" writer Paul Liem, sitting in on drums and percussion with Justin McRoberts, playing keyboards for 2 weeks with Dian Diaz and her incredible band (the Las Vegas Bilagio house band), and traveling and making music with Mitch McVicker during his "Love Will Rise" 2007-2008 Tour.
