SUMMARY
My hope is to inspire with music and, through the Holy Spirit, empower believers
to express affection to God and live lives of great faith and meaning.
My musical style is what people would call "Modern Worship." Musical selections
often include Hillsong United, Passion artists, and Bethel/Jesus Culture.
I have had opportunities to minister to people of all ages for the past 10+ years.
I've spent that time leading and organizing worship bands in a variety of settings
from various summer camps and Disciple Nows, to worship services week-in and
week-out. I've led in churches of 50 and 15000+, foreign countries, college
campuses, and in bars.
