Born in Dallas, Texas, I was raised in the rich musical tradition that southern churches are known for. In this environment, I learned music and became a church musician at the early age of 12. I have played at a variety of churches, and thus I have knowledge of many different forms of Christian worship. Using this experience, I was able to learn to score his compositions for ensembles at age 15. I have composed scores for several films, had performed concert works with ensembles around the United States, and am an active member of the American Society of Composers, Authors, and Publishers. I am the Minister of Music & Worship at St. Paulus Lutheran Church. I am also currently the keyboard player for the San Francisco-based rock band "Critical Bliss."
