I'm usually not one to talk or boast about my good qualities, but this is a resume and that's the purpose of it. That being said, I am a multi-faceted vocal & instrumental musician, educator, conductor, composer, arranger, minister, website author, sound engineer, recording producer, network supervisor, video editor, lighting designer and also a committed and loving father and husband. I have worked very hard at building solid relationships through the youth and adult music education/ministry positions God has placed in my hands, and I believe that my biggest strength is encouraging individuals to step beyond the norm and accomplish larger than life dreams and goals. Through working hard together, God has used me to build bridges and unify ministries where there was once discord and disagrrement. I hope that believers will be helped to find the God-given talents and abilities and where God can use them in his kingdom's purpose, and those that need the love of God will see that care and light through my life and work.
