About Me

Raised as a Wesleyan pastors kid, many opportunities provided me to experience gospel music of various styles. As I reached high school, my interest in music was peaking. In 1982, I went to college United Wesleyan College, which was in Allentown, Pa. In a four year program, I studied Sacred Music, with performance in voice. I also majored in Youth Ministry. In the summer of 1983, I traveled with the "New Dawn Singers" with our base out of Atlantic City, NJ., we would sing on the boardwalk during the weekdays and in churches on the weekends. The summer of 1984, I traveled for UWC as a member of a four man team singing/ preaching in youth camps throughout Eastern United States. With more experience singing in quartets, mixed groups, and choral groups. After college, I entered the Christian Bookstore industry selling music to moving on into my own business. Thoughout the years , experiencing a death of a child and a marriage that didn't survive. With two boys left wondering what happened to their worlds. In 1996, I remarried and now have a wonderful relationship with Joy and two of the best kids in the world. I'm also very proud of my son Randy who will be in his third year at Westminister Choir College and his brother Adrian.I began writing back in the early 1990's. My hearts desire is to share Christ through my music. I am presently working on a set and the sound in practice is awesome. Lyrically, I want to have songs that help people think and have an edge on them. Songs about life, experiencing God's faithfulness inspite of what life throws at us all. More recordings will be coming. I hope to be booking concerts in the very near future.Happy Listening......... to quote my Grandmother Murphy "Best To Ya"
