Santa Clarita, CA USA
Joined July 2003
I am currently serving at Higher Vision Church in Castaic, CA. Prior to that I served as worship leader at Christian Life Center (formerly Abundant Life) in Santa Paula, CA. Prior to that, I served at New Creation Christian Assembly in San Marcos, CA as their worship leader for five years. I have played in several local Christian bands (San Diego area) over the years including Heartfelt, Change of Heart, Souls in Exile and Extol. I play an Ibanez Artstar semi-hollow guitar for my jazzy songs, an old '57 mahogany Martin OO-14 acoustic guitar for my mellow songs. When leading worship, I use an Alvarez Fusion electric-acoustic guitar coupled with a Behringer V-Amp Pro for effects. I also play an Alesis QS7 keyboard and sing lead vocals and harmonies on most my songs.
I graduated State University of New York, Oswego with a B.A. in music composition and also completed extensive coursework at Point Loma Nazarene University in hymnology, choral conducting and worship leading. I currently work at Advanced Bionics Corporation in Sylmar as a Programmer/Analyst. Although computers are my livelihood, writing and playing music have always been my greatest passion.
In 2002, I founded New Creation Music (on-line at www.newcreationmusic.org), which is a non-profit organization dedicated to encouraging aspiring Christian artists by providing quality original material if needed, recording and production services and promotion via internet exposure and local performance opportunities.
