My Story...
I am a Singer/Songwriter & Worship Pastor currently residing in Kingsport, Tennessee.
"I surrendered my heart to Christ as a child and have been following the Lord’s calling on my life ever since.
When I was about fifteen years old, I bought my first guitar at a pawn shop and eventually taught myself to play along with the radio. In the next few years, I began to pen my own songs and share them wherever I could. In college, I joined other musicians to form a worship band that traveled all over the Southeast United States. During this time, I also began working for LifeWay Christian’s Fuge Camp system where I got work with teenagers and youth leaders from all over the country.
In 2004, I got some friends together and went to a local recording studio to work on my first album “Lead On…” One of the songs from that project: “All These Things” was included on a worship compilation distributed by LifeWay called “Our Great God.”
In recent years, I have had the honor of recording multiple projects, sharing with many amazing churches, and opening for various artists like Newsong, Danny Gokey, and Mandisa."
