About Me

Just a sinner saved by grace. If not for the redeeming blood of Jesus, and His promise that of "all the Father has given to Him, He will lose none, but raise them up on the last day", I would have been shipwrecked long ago. Thanks be to God the Father, and His beloved Son, Jesus for saving and sustaining a life like mine !From receiving my first guitar at 8 years old, to my first experience leading worship at a Campus Life meeting in High School, to being part of the Vineyard movement and Vineyard worship since 1983, God has blessed me to be part of something more wonderful than I had ever imagined. Like everyone else in life, I have struggled at times, but even in my failures, God has been faithful !!I am eternally grateful for those people in my life who have helped me, stood by me, and put up with my madness. I have a great family, a wonderful wife, and some friends worth more than gold, like Ed Piorek, who with much patience led me to experience the Father’s love in my life, John Wimber, who taught me so much about worship and the kingdom of God, my buddies Rick Kamrath, Chris Lizotte, Kevin Short, Ryan Delmore, Glenn Pearce, Scott Osborne, Kurt Winrich, John Schreiner, Raymond MacDonald and a bunch of others. To any of you guys that might read this, I have one word for you....... "cheers" !!These days I lead worship at a small Vineyard church, travel to other churches from time to time, read a lot, write and record a few songs and be a general nuisance to my wife around the house!

Hank said it best

I have recently been revisiting one of my favorite passages of Scripture, it is from Thessalonians 4:11. It says, "... aspire to live quietly, and to mind your own affairs, and to work with your hands...

Stage Fright

I'm sure most of you who lead worship, or play any kind of music for that matter, have had those embarassing moments onstage. I have had so many of them, I can't remember them all, but they sure seem ...

It's about the Church... isn't it?

It is incredible how what we know as "contemporary worship" has changed and evolved in such a short timespan. It wasn't that long ago when people like Bill Gaither were "cutting edge", to today where ...

What's in your closet?

For a lot of years, I guess you could have called me a news junkie. I had my favorite talk shows that I would listen to and seemed to always have the T.V. on a news channel. It took awhile, but I got ...
