GOD MAY SAY "WAIT" BUT HE NEVER SAYS "WORRY"

About Me

This layout was handmade with TLC at My Fab Faith Go get one!
Married since 1980. Two children, son Micah Todd and daughter Canaan Sommer(deceased). Rick has been the Operations Manager of a Christian radio station and the morning drive d.j. for 23 years in Ohio. He is a Christian songwriter, studio engineer and producer, and has owned his own publishing company, record labels and recording studio. He also installs sound systems for churches. He now works for a Christian record company in the Nashville area and does many of the same things he did in Ohio. He loves producing sessions more than anything and still writes songs. Teresa teaches deaf and hard of hearing students and teaches deaf studies and interpreter training at universities. She taught at Green Primary, Elementary, and High School in Franklin Furnace, Ohio for 27 years. She has taught in Tennessee since 2007. She also does booking for Driven Artists Agency and her own company. Both of us have booked and managed our own Southern Gospel group for 23 years, as well as our son's Christian bands for 6 years. Now we travel to Christian concerts and watch our son play and occasionally help little bands who want to work for God and see souls won to Him. We recorded only Christian music in our Ohio studio, but recorded a variety of styles from bluegrass gospel to country/southern gospel to Christian rock, even Christian metal. We love to help anyone interested in serving God with their talents. We believe that everyone's ministry is important, because we can all reach someone that others are not called or equipped to reach. We believe that we should all encourage each other in our work for God, because we all have a work to do, though we are not all the same and are not called to do the same work or to serve the same people. We are all in the same army, working together for God and should strive to uplift and support each other, no matter how diverse our ministries are.
