I stand in awe of my depravity.

About Me

I'm not going to pretend to talk in the third person. This is me, running my own thing here... I've been playing for a while now and I feel like God is leading me to do His work through my music. The words that I sing are not my own, but they are the words that God has put on my heart. I have a passion (and an obsession) for playing the guitar and singing. This is a bio section... so a little about my life... I've lived all over the US (MA, AL, WA, PA, TN, ID). I'm 22 years old, I was born in Worcester, Massachusetts. I played the sax for 6 years, the oboe for two, and I hope to eventually pick up the piano. I did a lot of worship leading at Milligan where I earned a Bachelor of Arts in Biblical Studies with an emphasis in Youth and Worship Ministry and a minor in Biblical Greek. I graduated this last May and I'm now at Emmanuel School of Religion pursuing a Masters of Divinity in Old Testament. I have been the Worship Ministry Intern at Cherry Lane Christian Church and I am currently serving at Grace Fellowship Church of Kingsport, Tennessee. I hope to someday start my own touring worship thing... maybe something along the lines of Passion (I've got a long ways to go though... Prayer is much appreciated!!). So yeah, I hope that you like what you hear! Comments make the days go by easier!!
Look for an upcoming review of my music and things of that nature by these guys:

Sounds Like: Gosh... I dunno... John Mayer meets Chris Tomlin meets David Crowder meets a 20 year old kid who's trying to figure out who he is splashed with some Charlie Hall... You tell me what I sound like! Haha! I'm trying to write songs that a congregation can sing... music that can be people's prayers... music that God can move through to change hearts and mold lives. I want to leave an impact with my sound for the glory of Jesus Christ.

No you can’t do that and follow Jesus too.

I'm sick and tired of Christians who think they can justify supporting something that is so contrary to the nature of the gospel, something so contrary to the nature of the created order established b...
