I've spent the last decade writing numerous songs for other people, producing their artist projects, etc. If you have followed Contemporary Christian Music over the last ten years, you have probably heard at least one of the songs I've produced, written or co-written during that time. You might have even sung a few in your church. God has blessed me with some successes over the years, but going forward my focus is expressing what God has done in my life through speaking, worship events, concerts, and growing the LifestyleOfWorship Network. More details on this new focus for me are available on the web at: www.lifestyleofworship.com / www.lifestyleofworship.net

Absolutely. It beats playing dead. ;-) There is nothing like connecting with an audience and celebrating the LORD for who He is and all that He has done.

To be honest, I didn't grown up in the church or listening to Christian Music. So my influences are more from people like Sheryl Crow, Elton John, Joni Mitchell. I do love Switchfoot and Chris Tomlin. Hooky melodies, strong lyrics and great production. I am always inspired by transparency of experience, crafted into music that inspires.

I record and mix in Nuendo on PC. On my most recent project I did everything but play the drums, and Nuendo really helped to facilitate this process. The right mic through a Focusrite mic-pre and TubeTech compressor seems to work for just about anything I need.
