About Me

I have been playing the saxophone since elementary school. When it came time to meet with the band teacher, the teacher asked which instrument I would like to play and I eagerly stated the drums. Unfortunately, the drums would not be there until recess and I would have to come back during recess. So like any aspiring phenom would do I quickly replied..."Ok. How 'bout....the saxophone". I have since started playing guitar. An instrument that has taken me through some great years playing in bands both Chrsitian and secular. And over the last ten years I have had the pleasure to lead worship services and many great teams for churches. So now I take the complete package of who God made me and teach the exciting truths of the bible, lead people in song with words that expose them to the goodness of God, drive the rhythum with the guitar and free flow through the melody with the sax. I play in all sorts of venues these days and really enjoy the variety. You will even find me doing a big band set for assisted living crowds! I love to minister in the presencee of God through the sounds of smooth jazz at churches all over!

pet peeve

It bugs me that a gas station will require that you pay in advance or at the pump and then leave the receipt paper empty so you have to go inside anyway!
