First of all, the word "Band" is a misnomer with regard to me. With the exception of the Lord I am working on this project alone. With, of course, the support of my loving wife and family.

Several of my songs were co-written with my brother in the Lord and dearest friend Keith Gamblin who went home to be with Jesus on April 9, 2004. I thank the Lord that I have these songs to remember him by.

I am currently serving as the Worship Pastor at Kingman First Assembly of God in Kingman, AZ. However, I am looking forward to branching out in the future and doing some traveling ministry by leading worship and teaching seminars in various venues.

I have over 12 years of ministry experience and more than 20 years experience in music.

Thank you for visiting my soundclick webpage.

I have been in several different bands. In 1988 I had the privilege of opening for Steve Taylor and WhiteCross in a band called Light Brigade.

Shortly thereafter, I chose to go to Bible College to study for the ministry. I majored in Youth Ministry but I remained active in many things musical including two bands I was in during the first two years.

After graduation I went to work as a youth pastor in Key West, Florida. And over time the Lord led me to a point where music became the main tool for me to use in ministry.

I am looking forward to whatever the Lord has planned for my life and ministry.

I am currently serving as Worship Pastor at First Assembly of God in Kingman, AZ. There is nothing better for a worship leader than to lead a group of people into the presence of the Almighty God - especially a group of people who truly want to go there.

My greatest influences were Keith Green when I was younger and in more recent years, Lindell Cooley.

As a songwriter, one of my main influences was Steve Taylor. I love the way he manages to say so much with so few words. I'm sure he learned it from Jesus.

A few of the songs on this site are from a CD I produced with the late Keith Gamblin. The group was known as Eternal Purpose and the disc was called Follow You.

I re-recorded "Join With The Angels" so that I could use it on a future project.

If you are interested in a copy of this CD feel free to contact me. The price is $10 including shipping and handling.
