I am here for Friends and Networking

About Me

I'm just your average middle-class white kid who grew up in Ohio. I'm blessed to have an amazing wife named Susan and a beautiful baby boy named Benjamin! Back in '96' some friends and I started this band called Sanctus Real and in '02' we signed a record deal with EMI and have been traveling the world playing music ever since! All of these things have been amazing but the most exciting thing that has ever happened in my life occurred when I was about 16. God revealed Himself to me through His son Jesus Christ and after believing in Him I was forever changed! I didn't become perfect or anything by anymeans but I recieved a sense of hope, peace, joy, and purpose that I did not have before. God loves you and I hope someday you'll decide to give Him a shot! I know I'll never regret for a split second the decision I made almost 12 years ago now to follow Jesus! It's still the best thing I ever did!
