Coming from a very musical family played a big part in my life.  My father plays guitar and sings, my brother plays guitar and sings and my very talented sister (Julie) plays piano and sings.  I started learning guitar at the age of 13 and will be learning until the day I die.  Singing has been something I have done since I was a child.  From singing in chorus in elementary school to singing in rock/metal bands as a teen, I love music.  I could not think of any better way to share the message of God than through music.
 
    Today I am blessed with many wonderful things in my life.  I have a wonderful wife, Katie, 5 great kids, Evan, Ann Marie, Conor, Riley, and Stella.  Hopefully, we will be able to teach our kids the value of loving God and loving one another.  God and family are the most important things in my life and under his “watchful eye” he has brought this glorious family together.  

    I have been down a long and winding road containing many potholes.  Ultimately his love and forgiveness has pulled me through some very trying times.  I will forever praise his name and share his glory with anyone who will listen.  He has forgiven me and he forgives you.  Jesus is always and forever.
