I am a Worship Arts Pastor/Songwriter in Cincinnati, OH. Music has always been a part of my life. My desire is to write songs that will encourage people to encounter the presence of the Holy Spirit.
Carl’s first vocal performance was in church at the age of three. He began to play guitar at the age of nine, and began to regularly accompany singers at church at the age of twelve. Carl became the leader of his first of many bands at the age of seventeen. By the time he was in his mid-twenties, he was raising up several praise and worship teams in several churches. He was also leading his own original Christian Rock band, where he performed many weekends out of the year, for several years. It was during this time when he first began his career as a songwriter. He has been exclusively leading as a Praise Minister since 1992, and leading praise bands in churches throughout Kentucky, Tennessee, Indiana and Ohio, where he presently presently serves as the Worship Arts Pastor with his wife Sarita. He has always had a desire to lay down tracks of some of the inspired creative ideas that he has with his songs. While he continues to enjoy choreographing Worship Arts in the church body, Carl wishes to minister to the harvest with the music and giftings that he has personally been given from God.
