About Me

Welcome to my page. I live in Ohio, the heart of it all, and as you can tell I love to drum! I have a huge testimony of God's power setting me free. Just want to tell everyone out there, demons are real. So is Jesus and His Power is greater!
I was unknowingly a captive to the darkness in the world for a long time. Although I was always what you'd call "a nice guy" I didn't know the power and true freedom from darkness that Jesus had to offer me.
In my younger years, I drummed in a band called Cyntrifugal Force. Had a nice drum set that I probably drove my parents crazy on and then later in life gave it all up. I have worked as a machinest most of my life and spent a good deal of my years being a bachelor who was living it up, so to speak.
I met and married my wife Sue in 1992 and after buying our first home, we found ourselves surrounded by a kind of darkness I had never encountered. We moved into an atmosphere where evil spirits showed themselves and taunted and tormented my wife and kids. I was drinking heavy at that time and we found ourselves simply out of control. Finally we shared what was going on with some of my family and they came out and showed us our authority in Jesus Christ and how we can't do anything without Him. We prayed and I repented and immediately never felt the desire to take a drink again. Not only that but we went through our home and commanded the evil spirits to leave in the Name of Jesus and they went out stomping and rattling, but they left. My whole family got set free.
It wasn't long before that old gift of drumming came back to me and I found out when I picked up a pair of sticks that it hadn't left me at all. Not only that, but I found myself caught up in the warfare beat of God and driven by the Holy Spirit I could drum better than before. I am not a professional drummer and have a different style than most but rely on God to tell me when and how. The most amazing drumming experience I ever had was in Pennsylvania at a small church there. There were some skilled guitar players and other musicians who caught on to the same beat of the Holy Spirit that I was hearing and we all found ourselves on a praise and worship journey like never before. I drummed for over 45 minutes straight, can't tell you exactly what happened, but heard that during this warfare song, words of knowledge were being released and many came up to receive healing in their bodies.
My wife and I work in ministry and have three children, Rachel, Mitch and Cassidy. I enjoy teaching others about the freedom from bondage that only Jesus can offer. We minister to as many people as the Lord sends our way and currently love to travel to get in the Glory of God where ever that may be! I love a Holy Ghost party!!! It's the only kind of partying I do today!!! Beats anything I have ever experienced before!
My favorite past time is checking out the music stores for used cymbals... I love cymbals!
God bless you and stay strong in Jesus!

My Interests

I LOVE LETTING GO ON THE DRUMS AND LETTING GOD HAVE HIS WAY!

I have played for Calvary Campground in Virginia, various churches in Pennsylvania, Kentucky, Ohio and Canada. My wife and I are on the worship and ministry team at The Rock in Oberlin Ohio. We travel to other ministries when the opportunity is there and the Holy Spirit leads. We are just on fire for Jesus.

Our home today is a place for ministers to come and stay, a place of many glory-filled meetings, some planned and some by chance and I am amazed at what God can do!

I like Red Lobster with my wife, plenty of wood in the woodburner and today I prefer a glass of diet coke over a beer. If you say the word CHEESE or if it is anywhere in the vacinity, I will come running.

I love my daughter Cassidy and enjoy reading to her at night and I thank God that I got to deliver her into this world with my own hands. She is a gift from God. Watching her grow up has been amazing. I love my older children, Rachel and Mitch and thank God that I got the opportunity to be a dad to them when they needed help. I spin Rachel around in a dance to let her know her dad loves her and is proud of her. I am proud of my son Mitch for all that he has accomplished in life. I love and enjoy being with my wife Sue. She is a bold and courageous woman who will face down evil when it confronts her or attacks her but she is very much my gentle woman and my wife who comes to me for advice. We have come a very long way through the grace of God.

I'd like to meet:

I would love to connect with anointed musicians who long to play for HIM! I would also like to meet anyone who is excited about serving the Lord.

Music:

Let's let go for God already! I love anything that explodes in the Glory! I like warfare types of music and spontaneous worship.

Movies:

Evan Almighty, Fun with Dick and Jane, Click

Television:

Always watching Jesse Duplantis (all I can do is hit rewind, replay and sit back and laugh), Jentzen Franklin (that guy is ON FIRE!), and TD Jakes. I enjoy watching the History Channel and the Weather Channel. (My wife does not enjoy the History Channel and the Weather Channel.)

Books:

The Bible. I have read a lot of books on warfare and deliverance. I like to study the Word.

Heroes:

I have a powerful God who sent His Son Jesus to die for my sins and the Holy Spirit who is my guide.
