About Me

I am married to a wonderful lady and we have two sons. We recently moved back home to Blackshear, GA. I originally played and sang most of these songs with 'The Way,' a Christian band that we started in 1998 in Swainsboro. We played off and on until late 2000. Most of these songs were recorded on my Tascam 4-Track (Analog) with just a guitar. My brother plays guitar on a couple of the tracks. All of the songs were written by me (I have a song on the purevolume site that was co-written by my brother, Edward, and myself.) We are about to start working with a small church to help start a youth praise band and maybe start playing most every Wednesday evening. I am excited about this and I know that the Lord has good things in store for us in some type of music ministry. I like all kinds of music, but really enjoy acoustic music with good Christian lyrics....when I have time I like to let the ideas flow myself. Leave me a message or comment and I'll always try to return it as soon as possible. This is not my career.....I just enjoy it and love playing music. It sure is nice to get back into the swing of things and playing at Laura Chapel Baptist church and would be great to play rallies again or just coffee houses and small venues. Contact Me!!
