About Me

I’m a musician. I play music for all sorts of people, in all sorts of places. Mostly pianos and keyboards, but also drums, guitars, and basses. (For those keeping score, the previous two sentences rhymed.)I don’t really know what my "thing" is yet. There’s a BUNCH of stuff I like -- but as to which of those actually influence my music, who knows.I live in Atlanta, GA, where I work in the music department at North Point Community Church, and play at its campuses. I also freelance with some local companies including iVideosongs and reThink. Finally, I get to play out with a few local musicians and bands, as well as a couple of guys from elsewhere in the country. Really enjoying Atlanta so far.Overall, I’ve been playing in houses, churches, clubs, bars, theaters, beaches, stadiums, aquariums, ice cream shoppes, and various other venues for about fifteen years. I’ve had the blessing to play with some incredible players, each of whom I have learned something from.OK, enough boring me stuff. If youre a musician or band, message me with a link to your site, so I can check out your music! In the meantime, keep checking back here regularly for new material. Thanks for visiting!

"call to worship" at buckhead church

Check out the video I linked below. It's the opening song from Buckhead Church (in-town campus of North Point) from a few weeks back. Unbelievable. What a gutsy song selection, and the coordination...
