Well, I wouldn't consider my life to be an adventurous or exciting one, but I guess I'll bore you with my bio anyway...

My first interest in music came to me when I was around ten years old. Before that, I liked to sing "Row, row, row, your boat" in the shower and play "Chopsticks" on my grandmother's piano. I could sing oh yeah, but I wouldn't call it talent. When I was ten, my parents bought a little keyboard for me to play on. I could already play a little by ear but didn't have much of a chance to until then. I had a blast playing that mini thing, but I'm sorry for the people who had to listen to me day in and day out...(sorry Mom...) A couple of years later, I upgraded to a larger keyboard which gave me a lot more room to improve. When I was thirteen I wrote my first song. It came to me as I was preparing for bed. Come to think of it, most of my songs come when I'm trying to go to sleep...After that first song, I would write around a song a month...maybe less, maybe more. When I was fifteen I started singing. My voice was immature to start, but then again, I was fifteen...

As the months went by I wrote more songs and sang more. I also started collaborating with people from CSO like, Kenneth Schmidt, Deb Rempel, Buddy Stacy, Tiffany Casto, Angela Rueber, Mitch Townley, Peter Merz, and others. I am 17 now, and have written over 100 songs to date. Nothing too spectacular considering Peter has written over 5,000...

I have played in public a few times in the past, including recitals, and a large wedding. One Sunday, in the month of May 2006, I sang my new song, "Make Me Whole" in a church and had quite a few people say they were blessed. I am hoping to continue to play at various churches and other areas as time goes on. My goal is to bless, encourage, and lift up people around me with the music God gives me.

Well, I don't really have much else unless you want me to tell you all about my future.......which would be entirely impossible because my future – lies in God's hands. Thank you all and if you happen to read all of this congrats! I hope I didn't bore you to tears...)

God Bless,
