Hello everyone,
I surrendered to the music ministry back in '86 at the age of 17 and started as interim worship leader in Oklahoma City as a senior in high school. I graduated from OBU, 1990 and Southwestern Baptist Theological Seminary, 1993. Through these 20 plus years, I have served at Tuttle, Ok - Pauls Valley, Ok - Del City, Ok - and now Fort Gibson, Ok. My wife and I are a worship team so to speak. She sings and has a piano performance degree from OBU. She is a PK which helps me SO MUCH! We have four children which keeps us busy. God has always provided and continues to do so. LIFE IS GREAT! Currently, I am in a smaller size Church compared to previous positions. At first, I was concerned my creative side would suffer. However, producing the video motion backgrounds for each service has provided the creative fix. It is hard to express how much fun it is to produce the media for each service. The Sanctuary, and Children's choir are a true blessing as well as the orchestra. The rest of my story right now revolve around being a Father of four. Oh yeah, my pastor and I are going to the UKRAINE this October for 18 days.
