About Me

Hello, welcome to my page. "Shwaybo" is sort of a nickname I was given a long time ago by my younger brother and some of his friends... Honestly, I never really liked it, and maybe that's why it stuck... Over the years I stopped fighting it and realized... if you can't beat em, join em. So it seems to work as an artist name. I use this page to showcase things I'd like to share with you. Primarily, I make music. I began to realize the significance of music in my life in 1997, when the late Rich Mullins was in town. He needed a place to stay, and my parents offered him my room, while I was to sleep on the couch. During those 3 weeks, my hero lived under the same roof with me and my family. I learned a lot from those 3 weeks, and I realized just how amazing of a person he actually was. It gave me inspiration to dig up that music resting somewhere deep inside of me, and to share it with the world. Music is a part of who I am (whether performing with "Rufus Tree" or pursuing solo ventures). I also love to write about various things, and will occasionally post a blog, so please feel free to subscribe to them. I honestly just love to share things that I have experienced, and I hope to benefit and connect with others through those things. Also, feel free to leave a comment if you like Thanks for your time Shwaybo

River Man-- one of my writings from china

I'll admit this is very abstract.   When I was in China, I was sitting on the curb just looking at everything.  It's a different country, but more like a different world to a Westerner.   I grabbed on...
