SEEKING

ABOUT

I am serving part time as a 911 Operator in Lake County, but before that, I served 10yrs in full-time vocational ministry as an Associate Minister with the bulk of my experience in Contemporary Worship services.

At one point I was a Creative Arts Minister for a church of 600 and led worship 6 times a week for different services and groups alongside teaching several music classes and giving private drum, guitar, and vocal lessons.

I truly enjoy helping people grow in their gifts and love jamming with like-minded musicians! Drums were my first love, but I have picked up several instruments over the past several years and I'll play anything besides keys (still yet to practice sufficiently).

I'm a big personality, a really good listener, and pride myself on helping lead a team from any position, especially from front and center lead singer- making sure everyone's voice is heard- both figurative and literal!
