About Me

I lead worship at a church called Highlands in north Scottsdale AZ at a ministry called The Element. This is my passion and heart and my community from which these songs have their birth. All of my songs come directly from the places that God is speaking in my life the most, as well as places I see him moving in the community around me. I could not imagine a better environment of Godly people to do life with than The Element. I thank them all so much for the opportunity to worship with them every week. God is teaching me so much about life and loving Him and worship and I am grateful for the chance to put some of it into music to share. I hope that the music somehow blesses you and impacts your life for an eternity and that it draws you nearer to Him who is worthy of a living sacrifice. May we all make our whole lives worship to God (Romans 12).
