About Me

I was born on July 27, 1975 in Cincinnati, Ohio. I have always had an underlying passion for music and always wanted to be able to write and perform for people for as long as I can remember. It wasn't until I was 19 years old that I felt the call of God on my life to use my music to minister and share my faith with people. When I turned 21, I hooked up with an old high school buddy that is one of my best friends to this day. (as well as a pretty decent drummer) We started playing together for a while and after just a few short weeks we had started a Christian band called U-Turn. I have to say that those short few years that we were together not only confirmed my call to ministry, but also defined me as a person as well as an artist. Now, it is my mission to use ALL the gifts that God has given me (whether it be through music or other means) to try to share the "Good News", inspire, educate, shine, give hope, and touch the lives of as many people as humanly possible. Some of my other interests include: fishing, ancient history, astronomy, camping, movies, superheros, football, baseball, macaroni and cheese and JESUS. MyGen Profile Generator
