About Me

We recently returned to America after volunteering in South Africa, near the Jeffreys Bay area, for the past year. As you can imagine, we have been hugely impacted (myself, wife and children). We are hoping to return to South Africa as God would open doors. I could write for hours about South Africa, her needs, and the beauty of the people. We are trying to adjust to American culture…. Musically, we are awaiting the release of a second cd engineered/produced by Dean Baskerville (Sheryl Crow, Everclear) with additional production and engineering by Jeramy Burchett (check out his myspace site). Please take some time to read through some of the blogs written in process while in South Africa. Time there has changed me significantly as well as my thoughts about the practice of Christianity, music, and American culture. Thanks for stopping by my site. Blessings, dave
