About Me

I'm a songwriter, a happily married man, and an ardent worshipper. I'm kind of a reserved guy and it takes me a little while to really open up, but you'll DEFINITELY think I'm pretty cool when I do. I love to read and write and even do poetry on occasion. In fact, I have NOTEBOOKS full of random ramblings and ideas...kinda wierd I know, but ALL the greatest writers have had them. I'm a stickler for ENGLISH, and good grammar is a plus. I love my God, I love my family, and I don't call many people my friends, so I hold close the ones that I do. I like ANY kind of music. Playing, listening, whatever...just show me something that hasn't been done before. I'm open to new people, new experiences, and trying new things. And I HATE fake people. Dont sugarcoat or try to BS me...if you tell me the truth, you'll earn my respect and I will show you the same respect. Overall...I'm a very nice guy.

a new beginning.

It is a blank sheet of paper, an unmolded lump of clay, an intro with no conclusion. It is innocent as a childs dream, playful and serene. It is formless, boundless, and allies wit...

Music

Music calms, and inspires. Reminds and reflects. It teaches and constantly changes. Music is a face in a rushing river, a silhouette in blown glass. It takes the shape of the memory it is placed in. S...
