I'm around four songs into the recording of several Classic Church Hymns in an acoustic format. I've written a few new instrumentals, some new praise and worship songs, two new Apologetic and Polemic songs, and I'm trying to catch up on a few Collaborations I've been involved in.
All of the newer songs are at the top of my song list. And there’s lots of stuff coming soon.
God Bless

Hey all,
Well, I’m going through a transition in my life right now. I’ve accepted a position to teach at an Instructor Training Course for the Military (which is over seven hundred miles from our home in Pennsylvania). This means in accepting the teaching position, I’ve also departed the ministries I was involved with in Pennsylvania. This wasn’t an easy thing to do because of the relationship built with Pastor Gordie at Narrow Path Prison Ministries (and those we ministered to), my friends and family at Agape and my wife and adult children. Donna will be coming down as the situation stabilizes.
So, please keep me in your prayers throughout this time of looking for a new church family, and ministries to get involved with here. Mainly that the Lord opens the doors to where He wants me, and closes the doors that I’m not to go through.
I have found music can be a healing balm, a positive motivator and a conduit to profound worship. The music my Lord has given me to play and minister with, are in conjunction with my testimony, my life’s story, and the gifts He has given me.
I am currently completing studies for a Masters Degree in Christian Apologetics and Polemics as well. I feel that you never quit learning, nor are we supposed to. You become stagnant if you remain static!
Thanks and God Bless

Why this name?
Right now it's just me. It's the only name I have.
Do you play live?
I have lead praise and worship in a prison setting, I play and testify at Church events, Revivals, Christian Coffee Shops, and with friends. Special moments would include any time I get to share the Gospel of Jesus Christ, and my testimony with anyone.
How, do you think, does the internet (or mp3) change the music industry?
It has widened our contact with the world, and therefore given us an unlimited audience for the message we bring . More ears can hear us and the message we have.
Would you sign a record contract with a major label?
If given the opportunity, I would probably go for it, as long as my message isn't watered down…. Compromise is not an option for a pilgrim.

Your influences?
Phil Keaggy, Petra, Keith Green, Paul Baloche, River, Matt Redman, Mark Farner, Mercy Me, and many more. I love (And love to play) Rock (all kinds) Jazz (My own style) Latin and western percussive styles. Overall I'm not tied down to any style of music, and would jam with anyone. I only limit the lyrical content with which I write. I'm a Born Again Christian, and Words are important to the Lord!
Favorite spot?
Redding, California. The area is temperate and beautiful, and rife with musical potential.
Equipment used:
Ovation, Dean and Alverez Guitars (with Elixir Strings.. These are the best!!) Boss and Korg effects, Tama Drums (With Zildjan cymbals and Remo Heads) LP and Pearl percussion (and others) And home made percussive devices.
Anything else...?
The Lord (Jesus) is my Rock and My Salvation.
