Christ has been in my life from the day I was born. Born and raised in a Christian environment, God has helped me through life on a day to day basis. Although I don’t think that I have ever been as close to Christ as I am right now.
Born in Zanesville , Ohio (baptized at birth) I attended Coburn United Methodist where I confirmed my commitment to the Lord at the age of 13. In my late teens, I began to attend a Church of Christ where many of my high school friends attended.
A job promotion at the age of 21 took me to Columbus , Ohio where I stopped going to church for a while. At that time, I connected with my first band, Crosstown Traffic. They were a well established country band and I was with them for several years until I started a band with a friend I met through Crosstown Traffic under the name of Jaded Angel. We were a hard rock band that played the bar scene in and around the Columbus area. Even though I spent many nights playing in bars and a “Rock-n-Roll scene”,
I always kept my relationship with the Lord and tried to live according to His ways.
After Jaded Angel, I purchased equipment to run my own recording studio:
The American Music Workshop.
To this day, I am still recording and helping bands record their music.
Finding Brice United Methodist, I began attending church on a regular basis again. For many years I was part of the worship team either by playing my “boards” with the band or running sound.
My wife and I married at Brice and I became a father by accepting not only my wife, but two step-daughters (Briana and Brooklyn ). My wife, Marcie, and my youngest daughter Brooklyn both became baptized and accepted Christ at Brice a few years later.
A career move with Hobby Lobby stores (a Christian based company) took us to Cincinnati where we attended Cornerstone United Methodist and once again became part of the praise and worship team there. After a year in Cincy, Hobby Lobby transferred us back to Columbus . This is where I hooked up with Windrush. Working with Windrush has been a God given blessing allowing me to use my God given talents in music to spread the Gospel through the original music that Windrush has created.
Myself and my family have been through tough times just like anyone else. We have survived them all because God has been our firm foundation. Without a firm foundation, all things will crumble and fall. Gods’ foundation is firm and the house He has built on it is a place where everyone is welcome. You don’t have to be perfect to be a Christian; if that was the case none of us would be worthy to be in His presence. If you don’t know the Lord, seek Him…………He is there for you!
