I am a musician. To the very core of my being I am a musician. I started playing the violin when I was 7 and went on my first tour when I was 12. I also started composing when I was 11. Although I am classically trained, I have also branched out into many other styles of music, focusing on jazz, fusion, rock and heavy metal. I am no longer interested in the rock or heavy metal (thank God!). I have turned my attention to something new for me. Something I've always loved, but never found the chance to pursue until now...which would be folk music. I am also really concentrating on my classical studies again with an intense focus on strict counterpoint and the great traditions of the past. My current goal? Getting my orchestral works performed.
But, over and beyond all of the music is my relationship with the Lord Jesus Christ. Up until a couple years ago I was very caught up in the world of "sex, drugs and rock and roll". I lived in Los Angeles and spent most of my time in Hollywood. I ran my life into the ground, burned every bridge possible, lost everything I ever had, and was completely detached from my very soul. My life was over...or so I thought. I was raised in the church, and knew that my salvation lay in the hands of the risen Lord Jesus. On February 25, 2005, I checked myself into a rehab. One month later I turned my life over to my Lord and Savior, and He has restored my life to me ten fold!
Life is moving forward and today I try my best to stay out of the way and let what's supposed to happen take place. I'm no longer in the driver's seat, although sometimes I try to take control again and that is when things begin to go sour and I immediately relenquish control and watch everything restabilize. I feel like I'm on a rollercoaster and I'm loving every minute of it!
"Until one is committed, there is hesitancy, the chance to draw back, always ineffectiveness. Concerning all acts of initiative (and creation) there is one elementary truth, the ignorance of which kills countless ideas and splendid plans: that the moment one definitely commits oneself, then Providence moves too. All sorts of things occur to help one that would never otherwise have occurred. A whole stream of events issues from the decision, raising in one's favor all manner of unforeseen incidents and meetings and material assistance, which no one would have dreamed would come their way.
Whatever you can do, or dream you can, begin it. Boldness has genius, power and magic in it."
- Goethe
