I was born and raised in Toledo, Ohio. I have been a singer, songwriter, and instrumentalist from a very young age. I started my first Christian band when I was 14 and have been singing in churches ever since. Moving to L.A. when I was young, I sang and danced at NBC for several years and played in my own band there. I met my wife in Century City and moved with her and our 2 children to Woodinville in 1988 where we have since been part of the congregation at Redmond Presbyterian Church. My family and I have presented a Christmas concert of my original music for many years now and hope to continue that tradition.
