SEEKING

ABOUT

I have a professional outlook and I'm skilled in many types of music; Metal, Hard Rock, Pop, R and B, Alternative, Praise and Worship, Folk, Country, Ballads and more. I pickup on a band's feel, needs and style quickly, and have no problems fitting in as the band's bass player holding down the all important bottom end and backing vocals when needed.

I'm proficient on stage, in the studio, and very much at home and comfortable in the performance environment. Additionally, I strongly understand music as a vehicle of ministry and sharing Jesus Christ.

I am a long time bass player. I have been a Christian from my teens. My involvement in Christian music goes back to late high school days and includes years in praise and performance bands such as Glory Bound, Battle Cry, Destiny Road and others.

I have toured with both large and small productions, studio and live recording, have been involved in live concert sound design, studio sound design, radio production and more.

I have been involved in music with Calvary Chapel, Andrea Crouch, Melodyland Christian Center and Darrell Mansfield to name a few.
