About Me

I think of myself as a singer-songwriter or a writer in general. It would be really nice if I could figure out a way for that to be my occupation. I thoroughly enjoy myspace because it gives me an opportunity to share both music and writing...and of course to catch up with those long lost souls I have at one point in my life delighted in knowing. I also enjoy meeting new people.I have been writing songs for about ten or so years now...with a good 3-5 year hiatus in the middle. I did manage to pull off a couple of songs I would consider to fall into the "country music" category during those years. Mostly now I write worship music or music that has to do with contemplating spiritual issues. I really, really like my life on most days.All the music here was recorded at One Vine studios, with the help of Mr. Kenneth Teal.
